Spam mail junk or not?

Hi all
Received an email in my Inbox of Microsoft (Spam hunters) wondering whether or not it is Spam/Junk e-mail?

I always thought that Microsoft verifies our installations of windows during as authentic updates before proceeding with any update.  I was never asked to provide personal information about any account.

The Tex to this email:

_______________________________________________________________________________

Windows user,.

It has come to our attention that your microsoft windows folders are up-to-date. Every single installation of Windows must be accompanied by a valid email for purposes of appropriate verification.

This requires you to check the e-mail account. Failure to check your records may result in suspension of account. Use the link below to check and confirm your records.

Thank you

Microsoft Windows team.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Have been running this version of windows for years.  Never had any problems receiving automatic updates.

What is the best way to check this Email Message as spam or Legit?

Thank you... Jay

Pure spam. Microsoft does not contact the owners of Windows machines, if not because he keeps no records on their name, location and E-mail address.

  • sent mail folder mail junk but not marked as junk

    Is filtering some of my mail entering a junk e-mail folder. But this isn't undesirable labelling, so there is no 'not junk' button click to tell him that the mail is not junk. I have reset the junk mail, filtering to try to remedy this, but it did not work.

    If no button is not junk, then Mail is not declare it as Spam. Your email provider is probably mark as spam and either moving is here, or mail see junk mail headers and moving here. If the latter, Mail does not know why it is undesirable, if she can be taught to recognize. Trust junk mail headers setting is in preferences of Mail as junk.

  • How can I stop mail that is NOT marked as spam to be sent to my Junk folder?

    How can I stop mail that is NOT marked as spam to be sent to my Junk folder? In some cases, it's the messages that were once reported as junk that I scored is NOT undesirable. in other cases, it's the messages that have never been reported as spam, but are sent to the junk e-mail folder. Same recipients over and over.

    I'm running OS X 10.11.3

    I can't find a way to mark a message in my junk as e-mail folder as not junk.  Some versions of Mac OS x there is there a way to mark a message as "not junk".  Every once in a while I find valid messages hidden in my Junk folder.  There is no indication in the help on how to mark them "not junk" (usually help isn't much help!).  I see that no one has replied to your message, Nix-649.  Google talks about it, but nothing is very recent.

  • Junk e-mail filter does not work

    For two months, a lot of messages ended up in junk e-mail that are not useless. Here are the messages from senders that I received already very well. People in my contacts. Messages are not marked as spam by the Mail app. I tried a lot of things:

    1. I chose "mark as junk mail, but leave in my Inbox.
    2. I checked the Contacts, past winners and display name boxes.
    3. I unchecked "trust junk mail headers in messages.

    No difference.

    I checked with my email provider (who is also my host) they assured me that I have no spam filtering or marking allowed their end.

    So I decided to turn the spam, filtering. Guess what. There was a message in the junk e-mail folder. It has not been marked as junk e-mail. How is that even possible with disabled filtering? I looked for the focus groups and do not find the answer. Any help will be appreciated.

    Mac Mini (mid2011) OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3

    Messages are not marked as spam by the Mail app.

    Tthat is the key to understanding this issue.

    There are two kinds of designations of junk e-mail. A type is based on what you thought Mail to recognize as undesirable. The ones that appear in Brown. The other type is that those who are designated as junk by the e-mail provider. These can be found in the junk e-mail folder, but are not highlighted in Brown and co not show icon only Junk.

    The only way to solve this last is to log into the web mail provider portal and check your junk/spam mail settings there. Often local addressbook updTing ok is very useful.

  • Chinese Spam mail in Icloud-mail is driving me crazy!

    Hi all

    I get mail Chinese spam on my icloud email account on a daily basis, often several times a day. I always get an email with all the Chinese symbols that is followed by another mail that contains both Chinese symbols. The other also has some Latin letters in and says: "RE-IPAD2" to his subject.

    Any idea on how to block or to report these e-mails?

    It is not the first time that I have problems with the spam mails on my icloud account. The last time he always somehow resolved itself after a few days. But this time it seems not to stop and the emails become more intrusive.

    It seems to be a big security problem in icloud. Never had this problem with Googlemail.

    Thanks in advance!

  • several e-mail folders appearing not

    Hi all

    from arrival to El Capitan, Mail poses serious trouble me (@Apple: what quality SW?) I was used to something else - before, you really mainly of good quality!). Gmail's mail fails several times a day (ok, I deleted this account), by closing and reopening the mails I have as many windows open as before but all empty. As the mail is so incredibly unstable with my old configuration entirely imported, I try everything again and import only the locally stored email.

    The big question, however and the one to which I am seeking help here is that my imported mailboxes are not displayed. In other words, I try to:

    1. First variant
      1. Reset the Mail (remove containers, AddressBook recent mail, preferences, Mail folder incl. box mailbox dirs, files of envelope, etc.,...) and the mail is clean. Exit the Mail.
      2. Then, as suggested on line, I add a folder stored locally (the Apple Mail folder with several subfolders) and move my old local archive folder to this folder (which replaces this file).
      3. I open mail and allow messages to import messages (it takes between 5 and 10 minutes on my i7 2.8 GHz with 16 GB of RAM), a few thousand emails are counted.
      4. Once the process is complete, the main mail window opens, but only the folder itself, any subfolder, no email appears.
      5. = > FAILURE
      6. Note: If step 2, I do not replace the file, but rather to move the content of this folder (which replaced the two files exisitng there), Mail will be important only 4 messages instead of a few thousand. That apart, everything is the same.
    2. Second variant:
      1. Reset mail (see above)
      2. Choose file-> import.
      3. Choose the folder of old local archive
      4. Mail displays an import process and subsequently a confirmation indicating that imports will be in a folder "imported".
      5. There is no shown any folder (don't I see one in the Finder).
      6. = > FAILURE

    I noticed a similar effect by trying to create local folders, apparently according to their name. For example if I try to create a folder "Archives" in "on my Mac" creation is confirmed, but the record shows ever upward.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the reason? Thank you in advance!

    See you soon,.

    B

    Please test after taking each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Step 1

    If you use iCloud drive, please open the iCloud pane in system preferences. There is a marked checkbox iCloud drive, and next to that, a button labeled Options. Click this button and in the sheet that drops, that uncheck Mail if it is checked.

    This e-mail box is not to be confused with those, also marked Mail, that appears when you open the iCloud preferences window. They have different effects.

    Step 2

    If mail crashes or freezes immediately on launch, try the steps on this page. Sometimes a damaged on a mail server message can be deleted by logging in to the server through its web page.

    Step 3

    If Mail doesn't always start, or if you are unable to take this step for any other reason, go to step 4.

    There are three types of e-mail account: POP, IMAP, and Exchange. You can determine the type of each account by opening the Mail preferences window, by selecting the tab accounts and then click on account information.

    Export all the mailboxes of POP in the office folder.

    If you have accounts IMAP or Exchange and you don't store sent, deleted, and junk messages on the server, export these mailboxes in the same way. You can determine if the messages are on the server by selecting the mailbox behaviors tab accounts.

    Also export all the mailboxes in the category on my Mac.

    You do not have to export the other mailboxes, because messages are stored on the servers.

    Exit the Mail.

    Step 4

    In system preferences, open accounts (OS X 10.9 or later) Internet or Mail, Contacts and calendars (OS X 10.7 or 10.8). Take notes settings for each e-mail account (all types), and then delete the accounts.

    Step 5

    Quit Mail runs. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select

    Go ▹ library

    in the menu bar. Move the following (some may not exist) in the folder that opens on the desktop:

    Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr

    Containers/com. Apple.corerecents.recentsd

    Containers/com. Apple.mail

    Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent

    Containers/com.apple.share.Mail.compose

    Mail

    Note: you do not move the Mail application. You move a folder named "mail".

    Step 6

    Launch of Mail. It will behave as if you have been putting in place for the first time. Go through the process of installation with a single account, using the information in step 4. Test. If Mail works now, recreate the rest of accounting (if you have several) and other parameters.

    Any writing paper custom that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to keep these data.

    If there is no improvement, quit Mail and put back items that you moved to the desktop, replacing the more recent who can be created in their place. Stop here and post your results.

    Step 7

    If you followed step 3, import mailboxes mailbox that you exported (see article of support related to step 3 for instructions.) Generally speaking, the process takes a few minutes, but this can take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In this case, you will be able to speed things up temporarily by adding your file to the list of personal information protection in the Spotlight preferences pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

    The mailboxes that you export should automatically synchronize with the server. Once again, if the mailboxes are very large, their download may take some time, and the network performance will be slower than usual during this period.

    If you skipped step 3, locate in the mail on the desktop folder a subfolder

    V3/mailboxes (for OS X 10.11 or later version)

    or

    V2/mailboxes (for any previous version of Mac OS X)

    Import mailboxes mailbox that it contains.

    Test. If Mail still work, remove items that you moved to the desktop in step 5.

    Reactivate the e-mail option in the settings to iCloud by car, if you have disabled it and retest. If you weren't already the iCloud drive with Mail, there is no need to enable it now, unless you want to.

  • How to hide all the future updates to the Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter?

    Is it possible to automatically hide or ignore all future updates for Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter?

    I don't have, and never plan to use Windows Mail, and I'm not sure that I could never be convinced that I should, someday.

    Therefore, all the updates of Windows for this are very very little, but the update system keeps their important marking - so I have to hide them every time.

    Is there a technique to automatically remove this update until it is important to my system?

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic SP2.

    No, you can not hide all the future updates Windows Mail Junk Email Filter. But here is a workaround:

    1 configure automatic updates for the 'updates but let me choose... '. "setting.

    2. when an update of the Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter is available for your approval, thereafter, hide it.

    I'm having a problem with Outlook Express I can send emails but cannot receive emails.  He said it might be because "your spam or junk file box is too full" but there is no 'spam' visible or "junk mail" box in Outlook express.  Where and how can I find?

    According to Bruce, OE has no spam or junk folder, so this file is likely on the server.  Sign in to your e-mail via webmail account and then look for a folder spam or junk e-mail on the server and you can delete the Junk there.
