Tbird putting good messages in junk folder

For some reason, this new version of Thunderbird (I think it is the one before 102.7.1) is placing emails in my junk folder, including messages I have not marked as junk. Before all the junk messages would stay in my inbox but they would be marked as junk. That is what I prefer. Now messages that are legit are somehow being put in my junk folder. Please please please help me to get Thunderbird to stop doing this.

Suggestion: Check your account online. There is possibility that your email host is doing this if there is a resident spam checker running.

Thank you for your suggestion. Nothing whatsoever has changed with my server. I download directly to my personal laptop and have no spam filter.

Is your account IMAP or POP?

So the next step is what anti virus product do you have installed.
