Why would an email listed in all my contact lists consistently be shunted to my spam folder?

Thunderbird Junk email and spam

Certain email addresses listed in all my contacts lists, including "On My mac", "All iCloud" and "All contacts", are consistently shunted to my spam folder. This makes the application worse than useless - actually dangerous. These are mostly personal contacts, highly unlikely to be on any spam lists. Can anything at all be done about this problem?

Your addressbook is not a white list. If some messages are treated as spam, it might be the IP addresses of the sender or other issue. To guarantee such messages do not go to spam, I suggest creating a filter for this.
