Q: Can I Filter Junk Mail while my MacPro is off?
Why is this not a possibility? It's incredibly supidly ridiculous how much junk mail I get and when my MacPro is turned on, the mail gets filtered. Howerver if I turn my computer off for the weekend and I'm checking mail on my iOS device there's like no point. I will have about 200 trash emails to sit there and sort out. It's a horrible waste of time that Apple should have thought of by now.
OR BETTER YET when I left the office for 2 weeks to shoot some short films in Africa. Of course I didn't take my macpro with me and yes I turned it off. Needless to say i had over 2,000 junk emails in my inbox making it impossible to actually see my mail.
Now you say this sounds like a problem with your email provider... well sorta kinda but not really. It's Godaddy. They do my website hosting and email with through them too. With their new servers, they don't filter the mail. They just send it straight to my inbox. I can't blame them. But I can blame Apple Mail. This problem *****.
Am I the only one with this problem? Is the only solution to go with another mail provider? I mean sheesh. So many people use Godaddy you would think they or apple would have come up with a solution. I've already done the calling to Godaddy support. No luck. They just leave me with the same response of roughly- "well your desktop email client should do that for you." And I'm just left with headaches.
Any knowledge or background on this subject would be awesome. I know there's got to be others out there furious with the same thing.
