Re: [iPad] Filter junk mail on iPhone?

 

I too have received these emails from both Hotmail and Yahoo accounts. Te Hotmail emails were all obscene.  The Yahoo emails were simple spam with links. All of these occurred only after join the apple-iPhone email list.  I know Jim is on both, are the other affected users on the apple-iPhone list as well?

Since Comcast don't have have great filters, you may want to create or use your Gmail account and forward your Comcast emails to the Gmail. I have successfully filtered the junk from my account in Gmail's filters.

Is there any way to set up a Junk Mail folder in iOS? My mail uses an IMAP account through Comcast.

I'm still receiving obscene and phishing emails daily from when one of my Yahoo groups was hacked. I set up my Mail in Snow Leopard to move all hotmail.com stuff to the Junk folder. But it all still comes through into the Inbox on my iPhone and iPad.

It's a minor annoyance for me. But I'll be visiting my grandchildren soon. One of them (an 8-year-old boy) loves to play with my iPhone. I'd hate to have him stumble onto one of the obscene emails with very graphic pix. He usually just uses the games. But you never know what he'll punch by accident.

Right now I'm using the latest version of iOS 4 on my 3GS. But if iOS 5 makes such filtering possible, I'll upgrade before we leave home.

I'd be very grateful for any advice.
