Helping Mail identify junk mail

Mail can analyze the content of incoming messages and identify which ones are likely to be junk mail. These messages are highlighted in color (by default, in brown) in your Inbox.

  • To identify one or more highlighted messages in your Inbox as junk mail, select the messages and then click Junk in the toolbar, or choose Message > Mark > As Junk Mail.
  • To correct a message that has been wrongly classified as junk, select the message and click Not Junk in the toolbar, or choose Message > Mark > As Not Junk Mail.

You can help Mail identify junk mail more accurately by marking highlighted messages as junk or not junk. As you mark messages, you "train" Mail about what you consider to be junk mail, and Mail updates its internal junk mail database accordingly.
