Create a filter to redirect the SPAM email away from your “INBOX” directly into the “JUNK E-mail” folder. Follow the following steps.

  1. In the Filter Name textbox enter: SPAM
  1. In the “For Incoming Messages” area, select the option “Match any of the following Conditions”.
  2. In the first textbox marked “Sender”, select “Subject” instead of “Sender”.
  3. In the second textbox marked “contains”, select “begins with”.
  4. In the third textbox (with empty content), type “ [Bulk: “
  5. In the section “Apply Message Actions” of the web page, select the check box “Move message to the folder:”
In the textbox marked “INBOX”, select the folder “Junk E-mail”

It should look like this…

Finally, save the new filter you have created by clicking on the Save button at the right bottom or right top corner of the webpage.

This filter will automatically redirect message identified “[Bulk:” into the “Junk e-mail” folder.
