Apple Mail®
- Select Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail from the top menu.

- Select the Sender of message is in my contacts and/or Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients checkboxes, depending on your preferences.
- If you choose the “Sender of message is in my contacts” option, you must add the email address to your Apple contacts for it to work correctly. If you choose the “Sender of my message is in my Previous Recipients” option, senders who have sent you emails before will no longer go to your junk folder.
