iCloud mail going to Junk

[Amy Rumelt]

I am suddenly being inundated with junk mail, which, appropriately, show up in junk. Unfortunately, some of my legitimate emails are automatically going to junk, as well. This started after I updated to iOS18.1.1..

Anyone else have this issue?

1. could be an os 18.1 issue or

2. spammers could have found one of your emails. I lost use of a gmail account due to being swamped by junk. Is the junk from only one of your email accounts? If so, switch to a new alias or account. Gmail and hotmail accounts can forward to your icloud account.

The junk is to my .mac/ iCloud account. Sadly, some important emails from known senders are ending up there, as well. It’s a daily job to check junk..oh well.

You could install the highly rated SpamSieve. It’s supposed to help. Not free

Apple says the Junk Mail filter “learns”. Perhaps if you drag/move a message from the Junk folder, that you know is good, to the Inbox, Mail will learn to handle it properly.

I was of the opinion that Spam Sieve didn’t/wouldn’t work on iCloud.mail.

SpamSieve is well worth the investment (it’s very inexpensive) and checks all emails (including iCloud). I and many other NMUG members have used it for years and I see almost no junk at all in my inbox.

Hope that’s helpful,

Mike

How does one set it to check iCloud email, Mike. I did not think it would do that.

Hi Lynda,
My apologies, I think I misinterpreted your post – are you talking about checking iCloud Mail online, rather than in your Mail client? If you are, then SpamSieve won’t work, you need to download the Mail into Apple’s Mail app, or similar, then it becomes completely automatic.

And I guess Spam Sieve doesn’t help with any mail messages that you collect on your iPhone or iPad? Just on the Mac.

This “iPhone Spam Filtering” page on the SpamSieve site explains how SpamSieve running on your main Mac takes care of spam on all of your other Mac and iOS devices:
