Hello, I would like to know how I can block/filter spam emails that I get through my thunderbird email account ?? I get some that go straight to my spam folder and I get some that go through my inbox folder.

Thank You !!

This article provides the basics:

You will find that Thunderbird does not have 'white lists' or 'black lists' to permanently identify spam, but relies instead on continual learning. That is, you need to periodically mark good messages as well as spam messages.

If there are some spam messages that always come from an undesired email address, you can create a filter to force such messages to spam - or simply delete.
