Does Mail handle junk mail across accounts?

Are all mailboxes affected when you mark a message as Junk, or does it maintain a database for each account under Mail?

Hi,

I think when you mark a messages, Mail updates the junk mail database accordingly. Over time, Mail will identify junk mail more accurately so I dont think it would affect the existing mailbox but the "new incoming mail".

Cheers.

I was referring to new incoming mail after marking one as junk. I have two work accounts and they both receive work announcements, though one of them in theory shouldn't be. The problem is having our not so tech savvy staff delete that account from the mass e-mail list. I was hoping I could mark anything from that list as junk in one box without having it be marked in another.
