Can I create batch "rules" in Mail?

If you are received 100 mails in your inbox , some mails say 30 are spam , as every mail is not spam .

Open mail app and its preferences select junk mail - select the box of perform custom actions ( click advanced to configure ) and click on advanced in the bottom end .

You can either set criteria for different mail addresses as each spam mail is coming from one sender or its a mixture of spam mails send by different senders .

If you click drop down arrow of first option shown with red arrow and select all recipients the mail rule will assume that all mails are spam , so that cannot be applied as other mails that are not spam will be treated as spam .

Some criteria are shown in the screen shot you can choose according to your convenience .

Dear ,

March 95 , personally using a gmail account and iCloud account , in my computer never created rules or filters , first of all don't reveal mail address to unknown persons .

These are simple settings ( see the boxes that are checked ) .

Also , by entering in web mail gmail deletes the trashed mail after 30 days , inspite whatever settings the user create for trash mailbox .Also it depends upon the internet service provider for how many days they keep trashed mails on their server , many user use different mail services and it is very tough for me to know the details of every service provider ( some are using yahoo , hot mail etc ) .

You can directly enter in web mail account , there is a setting delete the mail permanently ( select the mails in trash ) .

Apple forwarded this thread to me, but alas, it doesn't solve my problem, which is not getting Mail to sort the junk--I already did all that you mention and more--but getting Mail to erase the Junk after a determined time--or ANY TIME!

No matter what I do (including configuring rules in every possible way), Junk just piles up until I manually delete it.

If you have a solution for this, you will surely get a prize! Other folks in MacBook threads have broken their heads over this, but no one has come up with a way to make Mail automatically erase Junk after an established time.
