Managing Junk Mail

Most people who use email have, at some point, received messages from people or organizations they don’t know and don’t want email from. These email messages are commonly known as junk mail. Mac OS X Mail can analyze the contents of incoming messages and identify which ones you’re likely to consider junk mail.
 
When you begin using Mail, it is in “training” mode. When Mail interprets a message as junk, it colors the message brown in your in-box. If there are other junk messages in your in-box that Mail hasn’t marked as junk, simply mark them as junk. Doing so helps to train Mac OS X Mail. Later, you can switch Mail to “automatic” mode so that it automatically moves junk mail messages to a special junk mailbox. And you’ll never again have to look at junk email.
