The Mail app doesn't have any spam filtering capabilities. You'll need to rely on your email provider. I use Gmail and rarely get any spam. Googles filters are very good,

Yes with an IMAP account leaving the email client on your computer used for accessing the account launched and running actively checking the account for new messages at the same time along with storing the account's Junk mailbox on the server with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account. This assumes your computer's email client has a good spam filter.

To add: Spam filtering is critical for iOS (iPad, iPhone). Mail.app on iOS? To "select" an email for deletion or for marking as spam is equivalent to "opening" the email. (Dang!) Alternatives? Leave mail alone, go to laptop. Or seek another email service (e.g., Gmail). I have recently started getting a potload of spam. (I guess someone detected me opening an email on my iPad.) I don't care for Google. (Personal taste.) Now I'm looking elsewhere.
