Does Apple Mail 'went to junk' result in an FBL complaint?

Email marketer from Return Path explains that moving an email to the junk folder is a negative signal to mailbox providers, indicating that the email is unwanted. While it may not trigger an immediate FBL complaint, it can contribute to future deliverability issues if enough users take this action. FBL complaints are only triggered by users clicking the spam button.

Email marketer from SendGrid describes the process of setting up feedback loops (FBLs) with various ISPs.

Email marketer from Litmus shares that a spam complaint is generated when a subscriber explicitly marks an email as spam or junk.

Email marketer from Mailchimp shares that feedback loops are direct lines of communication from mailbox providers to senders. When a subscriber marks an email as spam, the mailbox provider forwards a copy of the complaint to the sender. This system is typically initiated by a user marking an email as spam, not by simply moving it to the junk folder.
