When I get junk, I (R) click on that junk mail and choose to mark as junk and move.
Do I need to do more?

Here are the steps that I took to get it to this point, as far as I know, these have not been mentioned in the forums. I also have a check mark in the "Run Standard Non-Bayesian Filters"
1. Any spam that is missed, classify it as 'junk' and move to 'junk folder using the 'file as junk' icon
2. Any 'GOOD' message that is sent to junk, right click on it, and, click on 'declassify as junk', then 'classify as good', after that, drag it back to the appropriate folder.
** 3. I think this is the important part....after you have many emails, at least 100, in the 'junk' folder, Highlight all emails, and then press "CTRL + F4", click on 'JUNK' Multiple times, @15.
4. While all emails are still selected, right click on messages, choose "Junk Mail Filtering", then 'Tag Junk Messages', after that choose 'show untagged' in the 'show...' dropdown menu.
5. Everything this is untagged, is still NOT classified as 'junk', and you will need to repeat the 'classifying' steps above, until they are consdidered 'Junk' when you do the 'Apply and Test' step.
I just know that after I took these steps, and repeated them about once a week, I don't have to anymore, and I'm running about 98-99% accuracy with 0% 'false positives'
