Since upgrading to OS Lion, my inbox is filled with Spam
I installed SpamSieve and now my messages are marked as SPAM, but they remain in the INBOX. I created the SPAM folder under the On My Mac, but SPAM still remains in the INBOX.
The mailbox should be called “Spam”, not “SPAM”. Please make sure that you’ve created the SpamSieve rule in Mail as shown here (it should have the “Spam” mailbox selected in the action) and that it’s at the top of the list.
That’s not your inbox. It’s a smart mailbox that shows unread messages, including unread messages that are in the Spam mailbox. You can see just below the blue dates that these messages are all either in the “Spam” or “Bulk Mail” mailboxes.
