Question

mail rules junk with multiple mailboxes

How can I easily tell which mailbox these point to? Clicking on "Junk" looks the same for each?

Why not use the All Junk mailbox in the Favorites section of the Sidebar

and then use just one rule item "Message is in All Junk".

Then when you click on the All Junk mailbox you'll see the emails and they will tell you which account they are in:

Thank you

Typically using a third party Spam filter like your SpamSieve— you would turn off Junk in Mail>Preferences>Junk

Thanks. I haven't really dealt with how they interact these days. Years ago, Apple junk filtering was poor, so went to SpamSieve and for a while only used SpamSieve. Somewhere along the line (maybe a year or so ago), I ended up turned on Apple's junk. But maybe I'll keep a closer eye on how they work together. I also have some filtering from my provider.

Replying to self. Also complicated by two Macs and an iPhone.

Again replying to self since editing not allowed.

When I'm away from home, SpamSieve may not work.
