Something that is hidden from most coverage of the Apple announcements today is that .Mac, beyond getting bumped to 10 GIGs of storage, now has server side email filtering for your .Mac account.

This is an answered prayer to those who are annoyed that their iPhone doesn’t do spam filtering unless their Mac is on and also checking mail. This should allow you to have your Mac off and only check mail from your .Mac account without all those Viagra adds popping up in your inbox.

Apple also posted a link to an information page entitled “.Mac: Keep Junk folder contents consistent by using the same Junk mail settings on each Mac used with .Mac mail” discussing how you should change your settings on your Apple Mail application to ensure that both your server side and local junk mail stay in sync.

.Mac mail is almost getting to be GMail useful now.
