My email account has suddenly assigned VIP status to some contacts. How can this happen without me enabling this?
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1
From Mail Help:
"To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar."
Thanks very much - that worked perfectly! But how were contacts assigned VIP without me knowing about VIP and without me actively doing this?
In advertently you did the following:
To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.
A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
Thank you for your reply. This is quite puzzling because I have never done this. Would there be any other explanation? Thanks
Not that I can think of. possibly a slip of the finger on the trackpad. 😁
I have never used or enabled VIP status so why does this appear in my emails?
