Question

Why do messages marked as SPAM keep coming back to the inbox?

No matter how many times I mark something with a thumbs down in mail 6.2, the subsequent crap they send keeps showing in my inbox. Why & how can I make sure it goes straight to trash w/o having to do a rule because every chinese factory in the world sends us requests & I would spend hours just making rules.

Can anyone help me stop email from companies marked as spam from reappearing when they try to email me again???

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 1TBHD, 12GB Ram

I do either thumbs down or right click but it does not appear to train it at all. I am trying to paste in a screen shot, it's an icon next to the trash of a Thumbs down. Guess they pitched it in 6.3?

I get the same crap over & over & over and sick of it. Does it build up over time or ? There is so much crap from every chinese camera company and every india seo company I can't get to all emails and I am hopelesly behind. I don't have time to go to pleask or cpanel and black list them. Outlook will automaticlaly block the when I right click on them, why can't apple get their act together and let me right click to block the bloody crap?

Might have to pitch Mac for a Pee Cee to manage my mail?

sigh... Can anyone tell me if mail will eventually stop this or is it just a waste of my time?

Sorry, I'm nearly blind, couldn't make out what that icon was... I hate icons, but yes I do have it, & yes it does take time to train it, no idea if yours will or not.

I get so little spam in a year or two it's tough to tell.
