When Thunderbird suspects an email is junk, I receive the above message in a yellow banner. However, I cannot figure out how to tell the system it is junk. I do not see any option except to click this is not junk. I have tried online searches but cannot find the answer. Thanks for any help

I believe the confusion here is that Thunderbird has already marked it 'junk'; the yellow bar notice is advising you of that and allowing you to click 'not junk' if you disagree. That is why the Junk button is greyed out - it's junk.

There is a small menu bar at top of displayed message with several buttons: one of them is 'junk.

Thank you for responding. That bar you are referring to is above the yellow warning but the JUNK tag is always grayed out

Thank you David! That totally makes sense! I know understand how Tunderbird is handling junk mail! Steve

Funny. You had me also in circles there for a minute or two... :)
