The good news is that it’s not too difficult to fix once you know how. In this blog post, we’ll explain why this happens, how to undo it, and what you can do to prevent it from happening again in the future.
Why Does This Happen?
The most common reason why emails end up in your junk folder is because they have triggered one or more spam filters. These filters are designed to protect us from receiving unwanted or malicious emails, but unfortunatly they can sometimes be triggered by legitimate messages as well.
How Can I Undo This?
Fortunately, there are a few ways to undo this mistake and get your emails back into your inbox where they belong. The first is to open the email in question and select “Not Junk” from the options menu. Another option is to open your junk folder and select all of the emails you want to redirect back into your inbox and then use the “Move To Inbox” command in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
How Can I Prevent This From Happening Again?
The best way to prevent this from happening again is to practice good email management habits. Make sure that you regularly check your junk folder for any legitimate messages that may have been accidentally marked as spam and move them back into your inbox if necessary. Additionally, if you find yourself getting a lot of unwanted messages in your inbox, consider setting up a whitelist or blacklist so that only certan people can send you emails. You should also consider setting up filters so that certain types of messages automatically go directly into your junk folder without having to be manually marked as such by you.

Understanding Why Emails Have Been Moved to Junk
There are several potential reasons why your emails may have moved to junk or spam folders.
1. Your email sender reputation: Email service providers like Google and Yahoo use sender reputation algorithms to determine whether an email is legitimate or not. If you’ve sent too many emails too quickly, or if your emails have a high bounce rate, it could result in your emails being marked as spam.
2. Content filters: Certain words and phrases can trigger content filters which can cause your emails to be sent to the junk folder. Common triggers include words reated to sales, money, and offers of free products or services.
3. Spam filters: Spam filters are designed to identify messages that are suspicious or apper to be sent in bulk, such as newsletters and promotional emails with the same content sent to multiple people at once.
4. Unsubscribe links: If you’re sending emails without unsubscribe links, it could lead to your messages beig flagged as spam by email service providers who take unsubscribing seriously.
5. Image-heavy emails: If you’re sending too many images in your email messages, it could be seen as an attempt to hide information from spam filters and case your message to be moved to the junk folder.
6. Invalid HTML code: Emails with broken or invalid HTML code can also cause problems for spam filters and result in your messages being sent straight into the junk folder rather than the inboxes of their intended recipients!

Changing Junk Mail to Regular Mail
To change junk mail to regular mail, you will need to open your Junk Email folder and select the messages you want to keep. From the top toolbar, select Not junk > Not junk (or Not spam > Not spam). This will move the message from the Junk Email folder to your Inbox. If you’ve blocked someoe by mistake, you can open your Blocked senders list and select the sender to add them to your Safe senders list. This will ensure that any future emails from this person will not be marked as junk.
What Happens to Junk Mail on an iPhone?
When emails from a sender are marked as junk on your iPhone, the Mail app will automatically filter any future emails from this address out of your inbox and into the Junk folder. This means that any emails you receive from this sender will not show up in your inbox, but instead be stored in the Junk folder. You can still access these emails though, as they will remain on your device until you delete them manually. To view these messages, simply open the Mail app and select the Junk folder.
The Duration of Junk Mail in an Inbox
Junk mail will remain in your Inbox until you delete it or move it to the Junk Email folder. Depending on your email provider’s settings, you may be able to configure how long junk emails are kept in the Junk folder. Generally, most email providers automatically delete emails from the Junk folder after 10 days, however this may vary depending on your provider. To ensure that junk mail doesn’t stay in your Inbox for too long, you can regularly check and delete any emails you don’t want and move any emails that are incorrectly marked as junk to the Inbox.
