Tips
- To improve the accuracy of junk email filtering, you can also mark emails as "not junk" if they're incorrectly flagged as spam.
- You can also report spam emails to the sender's email provider or to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help combat spam.
- Keep in mind that junk email filtering is not foolproof, and some spam emails may still get through.
