How to run junk mail filters on a particular folder
I have a particular need to periodically run junk mail filters on a folder in Local Folders that I know will contain mostly junk mail. According to a search engine, the command to do filtering on particular folders should come up in a junk mail tab when you right click on a folder and look under properties. When I right click on a folder, however, I never see a junk mail tab under properties or anywhere else. Where to I find the command to do junk mail filtering on a specific folder? Greatly appreciate any assistance.

The application menu is at the top of the Thunderbird window. The option that you need is not available under ≡.
If you are using Windows and the application menu is not visible, press the <alt> key.

Tools (in the application menu at the top of your Thunderbird window) > Run Junk Mail Controls on Folder
If you are using Windows and the application menu is not visible, press the <alt> key.
Greatly appreciate your response, however, I still don't see the Run Junk Mail option. What I assume is the application menu is at the top right hand side of the Thunderbird window and the tools item opens a small second window entitled "Tools". This second window has three sections as follows: __________ Import Export Export for Mobile __________ Search Messages Message Filters OpenPGP Key Manager Download Manager Activity Manager __________ Developer Tools
The only thing that looked promising was the Message Filters item, but that just opens a regular setup window for filters (not junk mail). I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but would greatly appreciate further assistance.

Ok, many thanks, that did it. I did have to use the <alt> key, and for some reason previous attempts to use the <alt> key did nothing. I also now know which of the many menus is the "application menu." I really appreciate your patience.
One man’s opinion: Hiding that menu and duplicating some but not all of its commands in another, buried menu under a strange-looking button were bad design decisions. Just show the one menu that has everything. User interface design peaked 25 years ago.
