I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 and mail is putting most of my emails in the Spam folder. I move them to the appropriate folder, but is there anything else I can do to "train it"?

Question

You can see that most of my question is the title.  I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 & have a minor problem.  Mail keeps putting most of my emails into the Spam Folder.  I then move them to the appropriate folders (I have several email accounts)  Will this eventually train the program to know what is spam & what is not or am I stuck with constantly doing this?

Answer 1

Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
When junk mail arrives:
select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
and after several days it may improve.
I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago.  It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to  'Move it to the Junk mail box'
