    Resolved Mail app highlighting won't stop, no rules set

    Mail version 12.0 with the only Rule set is the regular "News from Apple". For some reason I have this insane highlighting going on. The screenshot shows highlighting for 3 separate email accounts. I had rules set in the past, but deleted them, just incase. They weren't a bright color I can't...

    Resolved Whitelist from Apple spam filters

    Is there any way to do this? I have tried adding a rule that moves any email from a domain into the inbox, and I have the spam filter set to not set to junk any email that is also in my contacts, and it STILL sends every single email from a particular contact to junk. This is extremely...

    Anyone notice an uptick of spam emails to iCloud?

    Lately I've been setting random spam messages to my iCloud email address from random and sometimes spoofed legitimate hosting sites. All of them had "reply to" indicators directing to an @gmx.com, @gmx.us email address. Also noticed that the "from" and "to" sections are usually the same spam...
