Select 'Move them to the accounts junk folder' OR choose 'Delete them'.Click on 'Global Junk Preferences.' button - 'Preferences' > 'Privacy & Security' opens in a new tab.You can choose to auto delete spam emails if older than X date or leave so you check for emails that are not spam and act accordingly.Ī right click on 'spam' folder offers 'Empty spam' option, advise you periodically right click on 'spam' and select 'Compact' to fully remove emails. If you mark a message as 'Spam' on the server, which folder does it get put into ? To check - logon to webmail account via a browser and see if there is a 'spam' and/or a 'Spam' folder. Usually, the spam folder starts with a capital 'S', but maybe your server really uses a small 's'. You have a 'spam' (all lowercase) folder - so I'm assuming you are using imap and 'spam' is the name of the folder used by the server. If imap account then select 'Other' and choose 'spam on name of account'.

If you have selected the checkbox 'Trust junk mail headers set by' then if filter used by servers eg: Spamassassin has created a spam score in the headers of emails, then Thunderbird will treat it as junk/spam and mark as junk/spam.
