Folks,
I normally recommend backing up the entire mail folder (~/library/mail), when you need to backup your Apple Mail… But what if you want to share your junk mail filter data to another computer? For example, your significant other’s computer…
Copy the ~/library/mail/LSMMap2 file to the other computer, but don’t yet put it into Apple Mail. Make sure that the Apple Mail preferences are set to turn on Junk filtering (automatic), and then quit Apple Mail. Place the new LSMMAP2 file into ~/Library/Mail, and ensure that the file is set to read/write for the new user and that the new user is the owner as well… (Highlight file -> Get Info -> Permissions)
Once that is done, you should now be able to start Apple Mail, and the junk filter should be populated with the data you just moved or copied over.
