TIPS
Why does Mail not mark some spam messages as junk?
Mail does not recognize all spam varieties, so you may receive some messages that do
not get marked as junk. Also, Mail does not mark as junk any message addressed using
your full name. To override this, click
Mail
, click
Preferences
, and then click the
Junk Mail
tab. Deselect the
Message is addressed using my full name
option ( changes to ).
Is there a downside to automatically moving spam to the Junk mailbox?
Yes. Mail occasionally marks legitimate messages as junk. These are called
false posit-
ives
, and you should check for them by periodically opening the Junk mailbox. If you see
one, click the message, click
Not Junk
in the preview pane, and then move the message
to the Inbox.
