3. Now make sure you enable junk mail filtering and then select Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox. 

Preferences settings - Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my inbox

NOTE: Now the junk mail filter will do its best to mark what is junk. When receiving mail you can select what is junk and what is not to refine the junk mail filter, teaching it what is junk from what senders.      
 

4. After the filter seems to be working well, you can go into preferences and select Move into the Junk mailbox. This will allow the mail to be moved into the Junk mailbox automatically.

Preferences settings - Move it to the junk mailbox

NOTE: Be careful that important mail is not sent to the Junk mailbox because it will be automatically deleted. You can change the Mailbox Behavior preferences in the Accounts pane of the Mail Preferences.
