Can I do junk mail filtering on an iPad like I can on Macs using Mountain Lion?
iPad 2, Other OS, iOS 6.1
It should be done on your Mail Server and not on the iPad.
Gmail have very good Spam Filter.

Gmail have very good Spam Filter.
With the built-in Mail app no, it doesn't support the use/creation of filtering rules - any filtering will need to have been done prior to it reaching the iPad e.g. on your email provider's system.
That isn't a very good solution. I like to scan my spam folder for false positives. I understand that Apple might not want to bring full Apple Mail functionality to the iPad, and that the spam filtering module may take a lot of processing, but it would be nice to have some minimal filtering available. Maybe search for "spam" in the subject line?
