- Open the Mail app on your Mac.
- Select the mailbox (e.g., Inbox, Junk, or a specific folder) containing the bulk mail.
- Click on the "Edit" menu and select "Select All" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command+A).
- Right-click (or Control-click) on the selected emails and choose "Mark as Junk" or "Move to Junk".

Method 3: Using third-party email clients or plugins
