hundreds of unwanted emails went to the Inbox

When I look in the mailbox for spam, I have hundreds of old spam came to my Inbox. So, I have to go through all those emails and delete them. So I have a few rules to configure to have emails going to spam. The rules work OK. The problem is that many of these emails sometimes get moved above. Very annoying to have to laboriously deal with hundreds of old unwanted emails. I'm under El Capitan and 9.3 of Mail. How can I stop this from happening?

A way to have the rule to remove the email instead of putting it in junk mail.

    Hello Neilyjim,
     
    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you experience this problem.  How long have you been experiencing this problem?  What anti-virus software are you running?  Did you change your operating system before this problem?  While in the Inbox, access the item menu view, current view.  Make sure "show all messages" is selected.

    Norton email scanner is perhaps the single biggest troublemaker known for Windows Mail.  If it is installed and running, you have a time bomb in front of you that could just off the coast.  A similar question in this forum found the missing e-mails in some form of Norton backup folder, and I don't know if they were accessible from there or not.

    Inbox folders Windows Mail containing stored messages have disappeared

    No, you will NOT be at risk, analysis of electronic mail is a totally redundant process that does nothing but waste time and create problems.  The only way that attachments should be made by all e-mail clients before long resident file system monitor every last one of them until you can do something with them.  My suggestion is to uninstall Norton completely, download and run the Norton Removal Tool of the web Symantec site to clean debris, uninstaller fails to remove, and then reinstall Norton by using the Custom Installation option where you can stop the emails being installed analysis.

  • Read emails disappear from the Inbox when I return to the Inbox

    If 'Read' Emails are left in the "Inbox" and then I leave this folder, move it to another folder and return to the "Inbox" only "unread" e-mail is visible. All 'Read' previously in the "Inbox" emails have disappeared - I can't find them in any folder. Recently, I found the tab "Quick filter" - it is as if the tab "Unread" is locked on.

  • Smartphones blackBerry email alerts in the Inbox

    So I start to love this forum! Always find the answers to my questions

    Now, I'm trying to find out if there is a way to stop things going in my messages folder. I have BB Messenger, email yahoo, sms folder on my home screen and a few others. It seems that all my emails and BB Messenger messages are also stored in my regular ' messages' folder. I do not use this file and I was wondering if there was a way to stop this... it's quite annoying to have to go in this folder and the mark all read I read in another folder...

    I think that logic... If it isn't and you guys need me to explain better let me know...

    Thank you very much

    When you mark it read in your main folder (not in the Messages folder), it should also mark it as read more messages (Conversely true, btw). The unread counter is just a conglomerate of all unreads all records - probably taken from Messages in any case since it is the collection point. Once you enter in each folder and read those, the meter will decrement and eventually go to zero. Unless you have other things in the Messages that are not reflected in another icon - like, separate you TEXT Messages? And did you stop logging of the calls in the Messages?

  • Why the Inbox tab disappears when I open an email

    I have to go through all the emails back to the Inbox

    Maybe you should start to close tabs message after reading the. If you open your Inbox is pushed off the screen so you obviously just keep opening tabs without closing the 'old'.

    To get out of your situation, now, right-click on a tab and choose close other tabs. Then use the x in the other tab click on us there.

  • Lost emails from the Inbox

    I lose emails from my Inbox for the last 3 days.  I'll read an email and it will disappear from the Inbox when I close.  It is not in the Recycle Bin (I'm deleting it).  a few times, I noticed an alert message.  When I press on it to open it to read the entire email disappear from the Inbox.  This is a new twist in the last 3 days.  Any help?

    I ended up gong synchronization then 'Manage synchronization' and changing some of the selections as the delivery format and content of e-mail.  This seems to have fixed the problem right now; so I will say that this issue is resolved.

    You must try the ones more.
    Under Tools open them theme and change fonts size and zoom.
    Which increases just what you asked.

  • Until I found this thread, I lost 16 months in the Inbox during compacting emails, I went to the trash can and hit restore all, but I can't find them

    As I close outlook wxpress yesterday, I got the prompt for compaction. It's been awhile, so I let it start and stop later the computer without checking anything. Today, when I went to check my messages, everthting from 2012 until yesterday was gone. I went in the trash and saw that he was responsible. I have selected to restore a prompt came and I hit restore all. I return wwent into my Inbox and found nothing changed. I searched the web and found this thread and read something about 'with OE not open' and stuff on .bak and .dbx, and fear that I might have screwed up. Where can I find these messages?

    You need more than a single click to restore. Here's my answer "keeps" together with the instructions. The party concerned is in blue, but please read all this.
     
     

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
     
     
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     

    Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
     

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

     
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

  • How to remove the Inbox of emails in Outlook Express after Windows Live?

    I get the persistent messages to compact my emails.  I noticed that 2007 emails are be compacted.

    I went from Outlook Express to Windows Live a few years ago and thought I had disconnected from Outlook Express.  Obviously not.  I think that each email in Windows Live, I got also went to the Outlook Express Inbox.  I was able to remove all the "sent", "draft", emails, but was denied access to the Outlook Express Inbox.  Therin find hundreds of emails.   I want to stay with Windows Live, but I sure I want to delete 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 email in my Outlook Inbox.  What should I do?

    Thank you for helping.  I'm not too savvy computer.

    I don't understand why you would be denied access to the Inbox, but that following and you will end up with an Inbox again and empty.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it.  A new Inbox will be created automatically when you open OE.

    In tools | Accounts, either delete the account or the email account | Properties | The general tab, uncheck the box: "include this account...". ', to prevent new messages to download.

  • Even though I have my Windows Mail spam set to the highest level, I continue to receive unwanted emails. For some reason any Windows Mail does not block them. How can I fix it?

    I have my blocker spam Windows Mail, the highest value which means I should only receive emails from my contacts.  Despite this, I continue to receive unwanted emails.  This has been so since I've upgraded to Windows 7.  I even went now install a machine program washing 'spam' which was a disaster as well.  I get about 4-5 spam emails a day - usually when I start the morning.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What Windows Mail in Vista or Windows Live Mail in Win7? If it is a POP3 account, you can filter your messages by using message rules. This is for Outlook Express, but it works the same either of the programs.

    Start with the only rule of AddressBook and you receive a message that you want people not in your address book (E-mail from companies, bills, your ISP, etc), you can add them to the rule.

    Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it out}

    Box 2 - Check: delete it & stop processing more rules if you want messages not in the address book to go to deleted items, or you can create a spam folder and direct them here.

    You can choose to delete the server, but be careful because you never have messages downloaded to any folder, if you choose this option.

    Box 3 - Click on the blue words contains people

    Click on the first address to select it. Scroll to the end and hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last address. This will highlight all. Right-click on it and click on from the menu that appears.

    Now, click Options and choose: Message * contains no of * the people below in the top of the page Options area, then choose: Message corresponds to one of the people below in the background Options box.

    OK your way out of the new rule.

    Now, only the addresses that you entered will be uploaded to your Inbox. You won't see other emails.

    Remember, if you add a person to your address book, you must add to the rule. It will not automatically be added.

    Be sure to see these links for more options.
