6.3.2.1   Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least

SpamSieve normally moves spam messages to the Junk mailbox. When using the Mail extension setup, the Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least setting can be used to move certain (more spammy) messages to the Trash mailbox instead. Separating the more spammy messages, which are less likely to be mistakes, from the less spammy ones lets you concentrate your efforts on reviewing the ones in Junk that are closer to the border line. (It’s still a good idea to check that no good messages were caught as spam in the Trash, rather than just emptying it or setting it to auto-delete messages sight unseen.)

For example:

Server Junk Filters

The Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least feature only applies to messages filtered by SpamSieve. If a server junk filter moves a spam message to the Junk mailbox before it gets to your Mac, SpamSieve normally would not see the message, so it would stay in the Junk mailbox (not move to the Trash) no matter what the spam score would have been. If you want SpamSieve to refilter message that were already caught by a server junk filter, please see the Rescuing Good Messages Caught By a Server Filter section of the manual.
