  Logger.log("__log__");
  var myThreads = GmailApp.search(term, 0, 3);
  GmailApp.moveThreadsToSpam(myThreads);

  moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d 運行情報 Yahoo!路線情報");
  moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d from:(amaten.com OR アマテン) チャージ申請を受付いたしました");
}

Detailed Explanation

1. moveToSpam_main Function: This function searches for Gmail threads and moves them to the spam folder. The term parameter specifies the search query.

   function moveToSpam_main(term) {
     Logger.log("__log__");
     var myThreads = GmailApp.search(term, 0, 3);
     GmailApp.moveThreadsToSpam(myThreads);
   }

2. main Function: The main function uses multiple search queries to specify emails to move to the spam folder. It calls the moveToSpam_main function to move threads matching each search query to the spam folder.

   function main() {
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d Help us protect your account");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d from:(ヤマト運輸) 受取りの日時や場所をご指定ください");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d from:(楽天銀行株式会社) Visaデビットカード引落");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d アンケートご協力のお願い");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d New message from AliExpress supplier");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d 運行情報 Yahoo!路線情報");
     moveToSpam_main("newer_than:1d from:(amaten.com OR アマテン) チャージ申請を受付いたしました");
   }

By executing this script, you can automatically move emails matching the specified search criteria to the spam folder. This saves you the trouble of manually managing unwanted emails.
