Adaptive junk filtering is working backwards

I've just resumed using Thunderbird, with a new installation on a new computer, after a long period of having only my ISP's web interface. I'm having a problem with adaptive junk filtering: it thinks everything is junk until I tell it otherwise.

By default, it leaves putative junk messages in the Inbox, but displays a yellow ribbon above a junk message's preview with "Learn more" and "Not junk" buttons. In this configuration, having it assume everything new is junk is just a nuisance.

But eventually I will finish training it, and I'll want it to move junk to the Junk folder automatically. Then this behavior will be a disaster.

Using made-up numbers to illustrate, suppose I get 1000 messages per day. Of these, 998 are from addresses it recognizes, so it knows that 993 of them are junk and 5 are legitimate, because I've received email from those addresses before, and I've told it what to do with them. That leaves 2 messages which may or may not be junk.

It should leave those messages in the Inbox, preferably with some kind of warning, and let me decide whether they are junk or not. Instead it's going to move them to Junk, and I'll never know I got them unless I review all 995 new messages in the Junk folder... which would defeat the whole point of having a junk filter.

Is there a way to make the junk filter default to "not junk" when it doesn't know? I've looked at the configuration dialog, and I don't see one.

After usual PC restart non of my logins work anymore. I have logins.json file and key4 db file in my profile but firefox does not want to read them anymore. In json file I can see all the website and encrypted passwords, so all looks good there. Even more interesting, if I create new password it is saved in the same logins.json file but I can see those in the browser. So out of 50 logins there I can see only most recent two.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall mozilla and then copy logins.json and key4 files to the new profile but it did not help. Any ideas appreciated.

My computer was not used for awhile and neither was my HP Printer. In the meantime I got a new internet provider with a new password. My Dell computer asked for and connected to the new internet immediately. Now I am trying to connect the printer and it tells me "no internet connection." and I can't figure out how to change the connection/password or what I need to do. I will appreciate any and all help.

When Tbird first began it was easy to see which folders were Imap and which were local. That distinction disappeared a while back and I still had all my imap folders but no indication of which were which. When I want to access them the popup menu did show "gmail" (since that is my email domain) and the imap folders there. But when I go to create a new folder it does not show up in the imap list even though I want it to be an imap folder.

How do I create/manage an imap folder in the current Tbird?

Hello I have already reports these issues but did not receive constructive how to correct them. I'll try to be more precise this round.

Thunderbird Issues Summary:

  • Received new messages in the inbox repeat in list multiples (not consistent)
  • Messages deleted to trash repeat back into the inbox (sometimes also in multiples rounds)
  • Notifications in settings non-functional (disappeared)/ Incoming email alerts popup and remain on my screen.
  (I have to manually close them one by one.)
  • Mutliple unwanted sub-folders appear and reappear even after multiple attempts to delete them.

There are more issues but not as prominent as the above.

I use an old iMac. (See image)Us there there is an older TB I can download which is compatible with my system? IF it comes to that, HOW do I safeguard all my saved messages to move into the new version? Please advise. Thank you Rob
