Why do "Rules" never work in Mail? When you create them you can get them to Apply when you first write them, never again. I want mail identified as JUNK to automatically delete. I have tries every configuration of a rule and they never work.

If you are dealing with Junk messages make sure you configure properly. I suspect the Junk settings are not quite set correctly. Like maybe telling Mail to leave Junk mail in the inbox?? Also, since you're dealing with Junk messages, rather than create a Rule in the Rules tab, use "Perform Custom Action" inside the Junk mail settings.
Have ben using the Standard Apple Junk Filter and yes it puts the Blocked etc e-mails into Junk as the illustration form @ Randall_2023 has supplied.
Even in the " Blocked " Tab of Junk filters it will only put to Junk folder
Easiest method I have found, is to use from image below
It would, Technically Satisfy " I want it to delete so I never see it "
Thanks for the reply, but no. I do not have that boxed checked, I have asked for custom to delete. I have tried every configuration I can think of. For some reason my icloud.com acct has been found and I get hundreds of junk emails. They do go to Trash but I want them deleted. At least I can perform a command-option-J to get rid of them all in one fell swoop.
I’m pretty sure iCloud does server-side junk filtering. It will move items to Junk before they get to your Mac. None of the rules on your Mac would apply automatically.
Thanks. It does go to JUNK. I want it to delete so I never see it. Just annoying, not life altering.
