Hello, I use Signal spam, but sometimes I make a mistake because of the changing place of buttons, I declare spam some mails which are not, because of the changing place of buttons :

- If I select one mail, the signal-spam button, is the last button at right ("SIGNALER") - if I select several mails, the last button at right is the delete button ("Supprimer") see screen pictures joined. In a quick operation, without changing mouse position, If I first delete some mails in a lot, and just after, want to delete an individual mail, it happens that my click is to signal it as a spam, because the mouse stayed at the same place. It seems that the place of buttons is not adjustable. Maybe that I should only use the signal button in the mail tools bar and not the more local button. Suppress this local button could be also a solution.

The trouble is this, what is spam to you may not be spam to another person, especially when it is just advertising. I'm not talking about attempts at fraud or pornographic type emails etc.

re:It seems that the place of buttons is not adjustable.

The developers removed the User right to customise this particular area, so not available in version 78* because an enhancement to remove what was deemed as unnecessary toolbar got the green light. There have been loads of complaints and many good and varied reasons to have it reimplemented. It would seem it's not quite so simple to put back or a lack of drive to do it. Who knows. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556261

However, there is an addon that might help, so is worth checking out to see if you can get some control. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/msghdr-toolbar-customize/

Thunderbird has a built-in spam filter. Why don't you use that? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages

Because I hope that signal-spam should be a more active response to spammers. As far as I know, the built-in filter is just local and no actions are directed against spammers ?
