How Long Does it Take Thunderbird to Learn What is or What is Not Spam?
I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now and I have been marking email as "spam" or as "not spam" but I am finding that a lot of addresses that I mark as "not spam" still end up in my spam folder, even after marking them several times.
What I have been doing is restoring the email that I want to read back to the inbox and marking it again as "not spam". Some email that I mark as spam does get moved to the spam folder, which is fine.
Is this was happens for some considerable time or am I getting something wrong?

hello there aidan2
that issue is often caused by server issues or synchronisations.
the spamfilter is working incorrect.
looking at compacting folders try to compact these folders. by clicking the spammap and the right mouse button , you choose for the option compacting. it forces thunderbird to get rid of the already deleted files on the imap-server.
cause
the server can t handle these files, so he returnes them.

Hi Aidan,
I do not know an answer to your question.
In case you have not seen the useful information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages
One must train the filter on both spam and non-spam messages repeatedly. The more messages, the better.
Server-based filters are often better than client-based filters.

This is correct. I wrote much of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages so training and using whitelist are extremely important. Also having a good mail provider (ISP) that can block spam for you.
