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:

Why not? Why does Apple hide these things? But I also use SpamSieve, but I can handle that separately if needed (don't have any at the moment, so will check later).

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.
