Friend's incoming emails suddenly going to spam

Can I teach apple mail that an incoming email address is NOT spam? Can I modify the filters Apple uses to divert email to the spam folder? Intel iMac, latest MacOS.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.6

Why does Apple Mail automatically dodwnload all my mail from 3 different accounts and place them into the Spam folder under the "On My Mac" Why does Apple Mail automatically download and place all mail from 3 different accounts into the Spam folder under "On MY Mac" rather than into the In Box? All this mail still stays in the other 3 accounts inboxes so there is a redundancy and I am forced to go through basically 4 accounts including the ON MY MAC Spam box to sort all my mail and delete what is not needed.
