<title>Marking Mail as Junk</title>

<p>While SpamAssassin comes with a set of predefined rules, Bogofilter needs to be taught first before it will automatically filter junk mail. In any case, when you first start using junk mail blocking, check the <gui>Junk</gui> mail folder frequently to be sure that legitimate mail doesn't get flagged as junk mail.</p>

<section id="marking-junk">
<title>Manually Marking Junk Mail</title>
<p>If Evolution misses junk mail, right-click the message, then click <gui>Mark as Junk</gui>, or mark the message and press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>J</key></keyseq> or click the <gui>Junk</gui> button in the tool bar. When you correct it, the filter can recognize similar messages in the future, and becomes more accurate as time goes on.</p>
<p>If legitimate mail is incorrectly flagged, remove it from the <gui>Junk</gui> folder by right-clicking it and selecting <gui>Mark as Not Junk</gui> or pressing <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Ctrl</key><key>J</key></keyseq>, or mark the message and click the <gui>Not Junk</gui> button.</p>
