The default settings catch most of the junk mail you receive, but you can customize the filter.
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail.
Specify what Mail should do when junk mail arrives.
If you want to verify what the filter identifies as junk mail, select “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox.”
If you’re sure the filter accurately identifies junk mail, select “Move it to the Junk mailbox.”
To set up other actions, select “Perform custom actions,” then click Advanced.
Note: To make sure the filter’s database is used to identify junk mail, don’t change the default condition “Message is Junk Mail.”
Select options for exempting messages from being evaluated, such as messages received from people who use your full name.
To include in the filter any junk mail detection inherent in messages, select “Trust junk mail headers in messages.”
Reset the junk mail filter
Resetting the junk mail filter to its original state removes what Mail learned from you whenever you marked emails as junk or not junk.
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail.
Click Reset.
In a new blog post today, Microsoft’s Tastia Ebacher explained how Microsoft is handling junk mail on Outlook 2016 for the Mac. As expected, Outlook 2016 for Mac will come with a handful of new features compared to Outlook 2011 for Mac. The upcoming Outlook update relies on server-side filtering for junk mail, rather than relying on client-side filtering. Microsoft expects server-side filtering to cut down on your junk mail, and hopefully Outlook 2016 for Mac will improve junk mail filtering.
Microsoft has also published a comparison of Outlook for Mac 2011 and Outlook 2016 for Mac junk email protection options:
| Option/Feature | Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.3.2+) | Outlook 2016 for Mac |
| Performs Junk Email filtering for Exchange accounts | No | No |
| Performs Junk Email filtering for POP and IMAP accounts | Yes | No |
| Add Blocked Senders when connected to Exchange 2013 (Syncs to server) | Yes | Yes |
| Add Blocked Senders when connected to Exchange 2010 (client-side only) | Yes | Yes |
| Add Blocked and Safe Senders for POP and IMAP accounts (client-side only) | Yes | Yes |
| Mark email as Junk manually (any type of account) | Yes | Yes |
