To train Mail to identify what is junk:

  1. Open Mail and look in your inbox.
  2. Mark a message as junk by clicking in the message's Junk Status column so that the junk icon appears.


To train Mail to identify what's not junk:

  1. For a message incorrectly marked as junk, click the message's junk icon to remove it and mark the message as not junk. You may wish to drag the message from the junk mail folder to another folder of your choice.


Over time, Mail becomes smarter at identifying the types of messages you consider to be junk. You'll know when Mail is fully trained, because you'll no longer have to correct it.
