Use a rule to ignore Gmail spam emails in Mail
Authored by: fracai on Jun 12, '08 08:22:07AM

At least one problem with this that I've run into is the case of false positives. If Mail thinks a message is junk, it marks it as spam and moves the message. If it wasn't really spam and you unmark it, I've found that the Inbox and All Mail folders get out of sync for that message. I think I recall that the message will show up in your Inbox but not in All Mail.

I did something similar, where I altered the Junk Filter to only apply to my non-Gmail account. This works because I only use Mail.app with my Gmail account and my one non-Gmail account. The method detailed in the hint probably scales better towards multiple non-Gmail accounts.
