After TB marks email as junk, do I ALSO have to mark it as junk, or can I just delete it?
I get so many junk/spam emails on one particular account that got harvested years back. The junk/spam calmed down but then Adobe recently got hacked and now that account is once again getting even more of garbage. I've been going through the right-click, mark as junk but if TB already thinks it's garbage, I'd rather not have to go through the "mark as junk" again. I'd just like to delete the message.
Thanks.

Typically you'd let Thunderbird do the junk classification. When a message is classified as Junk, Thunderbird would move it to the Junk folder automatically. You can have Thunderbird to delete messages in the Junk folder automatically which are older than e.g. 14 days. Manually marking messages as Junk would only be needed when Thunderbird does not classify a message as Junk, even if it clearly is Junk.
