So, I'm to the point of about 400 junk mail messages a week. Not bad to some people, really bad to others, but no matter because mail.app does an incredible job at filtering. I thought mail.app was fool proof, until I found out the "search mail" doesn't search the junk mail box.
With this much junk mail coming in, I don't normally scan my junk mail box with my eyes, instead when I purchase something, or sign up for a new newsletter, I search for the company just to see if anything got junked. I haven't needed to do that because mail.app hasn't ever filtered out what I knew was coming, so I never questioned that search never picking anything up. But my dismay, an important email did get junked, search never caught it, and I found it 5 days late.
I have tried both exact title searches, body searches, and from searches, and all of them turn up negative for things in the junk mail box. Is there a way around there? A patch someplace perhaps? Or should I start scanning the junk mail every so often for emails?
TIA!
