Roundcube webmail is an Internet Message Access Protocol, or IMAP, compatible interface that allows users to view and access their email on a server instead of downloading it to a computer email program first. Although Roundcube has many basic email features, it doesn't offer filter-style email address spam control that automatically transfers email from certain addresses directly into the Junk or Trash folders. As a result, controlling spam in Roundcube is a manual process -- you must physically move the messages out of the inbox.

Step 4

Press and hold "Shift" on your keyboard and click more than one spam message title bar to group spam messages in the Inbox together to transfer multiple messages into the Junk folder at one time. After you select all of the messages, click and drag the group to the folder or click the "Junk" icon.
