Spam folders are grayed out and unavailable to transfer email from my inbox on my iPad and iPhone. Why can't I move junk mail from my inbox to the spam folder so my spam filter learns what is spam? I have to go to my Mac computer to make a transfer.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), iPhoto 9.6.1 (910.42
I have multiple email accounts that I collectively monitor from my iPad and/or iPhone devices. After you questioned whether the account was an IMAP or a POP3 account, I looked and realized the account that I am having the most trouble with is an old yahoo account. I deleted it and rather than taking the Yahoo selection when adding it back in, I manually added it as an IMAP account. That has fixed the issue. I now have the ability to move mail from my inbox to the spam folder on both my iPad and my iPhone. Thank you!

Hi. Are you using the built-in iOS Mail app? Does your mail account use IMAP or POP3 to receive mail? Check the account settings if not sure.
