Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have one piece of (filthy) junk mail that won't delete, no matter what I do. I keep marking it as unread, then putting it in Trash, then emptying the Trash. But Voila! it keeps coming back. How do I get rid of this???
OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
I was having the same problem and the following worked for me.
1. Open Mail
2. Select mail preferences
3. Select the gmail account
4. Select the tab on mail box behaviors
5. Deselect store junk mail on server
6. Close and save all
Since I did this I have not had the returning of junk emails.
Hope this helps
Open mail app , mail preferences and click on mail box behaviors.
Check the box store junk mails on the server , click on drop down arrows and set as delete the junk mails one week old .
There are different options , one day old , one month old . It yours choice how long you want to keep junk mails on the server .
Once the settings is done close the window , it will prompt to save , or cancel so please click on save .
Where is the tab for "select mail preferences" ?
Im having this issue with a Hotmail account, it won't let me move that email anywhere. Reappears in my "inbox" and yes it's the same email(same date every time).
Thanks
How to delete trashing emails
This didn't work for me using OS High Sierra, but clicking on the email and dragging it to the trash bin in the dock at the bottom of the screen worked fine.
