Junk Mail

Post by AJohnstonvt »

HI, This has probably been covered a hundred times but, does the junk mail button do anything other than put a small icon beside the subject in the inbox? I would like to have all my junk mail disappaer before even seeing it. Is this possible?

Thanks for your response.

There is information about how Junk mail filtering works at http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/spam.html
By marking a message as "spam" you train a filter which gradually learns to separate your regular mail from your spam. There is also an option to automatically move mail recognized as spam to the junk mail folder, but I wouldn't use it from the very beginning, or at least check regularly for false positives.
