I'm new to MacOSX (but a veteran os8) and trying to set up junk mail filtering for an IMAP server.

A couple of questions:

1) do I need to create a 'Junk' folder on the IMAP server?
2) even though I have the filter set to not filter email from people in the address book, Mail keeps on putting this mail in the trash. What can be going on?

Thanks for any help.

Mail.app creates the "Junk" folder all by itself - you don't have to do anything.

When you first start using junk filtering though, you should keep it in "training" mode for a while - correcting it when it misses something that is junk, and also when it mis-labels something as junk. Once you're comfortable that it's getting most everything right, you can take it out of training (though if/when you spot an error, you should still correct it, as Mail keeps learning...)
