It ony took you about two and a half years to find that? Marvellous. Others were posting it two years back. 😁

Hi,

I just tried this in Mavericks and it did not work. It selected the message but I saw nothing to indicate it bounced (like the old bounce button did). I may have done something wrong, because I've never used Automator before.

Is there clarification I might need or did Mavericks break your terrific solution. I really NEED the bounce feature for certain emails from a pesty contact.

Thanks for any insight/help you can provide.

That hack no longer works in Mavericks.

So here we are with Mavericks, and I still need the Bounce feature. The "Restore Bounce to Mail in Lion" hack does not work anymore.

Any ideas? Are there any service around that emulates this function? I really need to bounce some of the mails I get.

I want Bounce restored in Mavericks, not to bounce SPAM, but to bounce emails back to known email adresses, mostly from suppliers I no longer wish to do business with, or websites, etc, as despite subscriptions being cancelled, they continue to email me.

Bounce was a very useful facility, please bring it back or re-enable it from the 3rd party in Mavericks.

Thanks

Did that yesterday !!

It may take a while before Bounce is Back.!!

I would greatly appreciate it if you would explain exactly how you use a separate Gmail web session to bounce an email from a known but unwanted sender with the from line of mailer-daemon and the appropriate headers and body. Thanks.

Bounce!

Hi All!

Great to login again to this particular thread, as I continue to get alerts for this obviously contentious subject. It's almost comforting to find the same repliers, trolls and honest query-ers continuing to tap out your thoughts - sometimes helpful sometimes not. I realize for a lot of you this is a game of points.

I was devastated (OK, a bit drama-queenish), when I found I no longer had that beautiful little Bounce button. And first commented here way back. But since I bought my big bad iMac last Spring I have had few to zero problems with any repeat spam. All I do is mark it as such, then delete it and I never see it again. Has the Apple god only blessed me.

Anyway do carry on. It's fun to check in - and geez I'm always grateful for the serious help I usually find on this all-Apple-wide-ranging-subject blog, so I guess the pluses will always outweigh the minuses.

Cheers, Joan (Remember to mark the spam as "junk" BEFORE deleting)

CT, I get it that you are tired of seeing posts in this discussion. I posted because I did not know of any other way of asking the poster cited below for details of his work-around, which he uses in gmail. I'm interested in this method not so much for banishing spam, but for letting unwanted senders know in no uncertain terms that their emails are not welcome. This is how the author of the post cited below uses this work-around.

You perhaps removed/censored my previous post... Or was it another almighty hand?
