Setting Up Spam Filter in Airmail
Problem
The user wants to set up spam filtering and organize spam emails in Airmail.
Solution
To enable the spam folder in Airmail:
- Go to Airmail Preferences → Favourites → Spam and enable it.
Important: Airmail does not have its own built-in spam filter. Spam detection relies entirely on your email server/provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). To improve spam filtering:
- Mark unwanted emails as spam — this trains your email provider's filter.
- Use your email provider's web interface to manage spam settings.
- Create rules in Airmail to automatically move emails from specific senders to the archive or trash.
