The same thing that has happened to fffjxc happened to me.
To restate my situation:
- All my spam messages are going to my Junk folder and that’s perfectly OK with me.
- As stated by me previously, I’m getting a lot more spam messages now than before I rebooted.
- I don’t want to simply delete them because that puts them in my Trash folder and I don’t want any trace of them on my computer.
- To get around that I’ve created an Appple Mail rule that discards the spam after 2 days in my Junk folder.
