  3. Click on the "Edit" menu and select "Select All" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command+A).
  4. Right-click (or Control-click) on the selected emails and choose "Mark as Junk" or "Move to Junk".
  5. Confirm that you want to move the emails to the Junk mailbox.

Method 2: Using the Junk Mail filter
