Since I switched to IMAP Apple Mail downloads all the spam and gives shows the message sign.

How can I stop this?

I am not a fan of IMAP. When my gmail account was POP only, such things didn't happen.

I found these recommended settings for mail clients.

Would this improve things (like keeping spam away and not downloading it)? recommended setting: "store junk on server" and "delete junk messages when: never".
