Thunderbird's junk learning

I've been using Tbird for many years for multiple accounts, and I have the junk filter turned on so it's supposed to learn when I mark a message as junk. But I have noticed recently that even when I mark messages as junk, if more of the same come in, they don't get caught by the filter as they ought to be.

  1. Is there a limit after which the filter no longer learns?
  2. It's the same filter, no matter how many accounts, right?
  3. If I UNmark a message accidentally marked as junk, does it reverse that pattern in the filter?
  4. If I highlight a group of unmarked messages and mark them all junk, does it learn from them?

No, yes, yes, yes.

But note, marking a message as junk does not mean the next message with the exact same format will be automatically set to junk.

Thank you!

I can understand that a duplicate spam which arrived around the same time (ie already in the Inbox) would not be retrospectively marked as junk (although it ought to); but if another identical message arrives the next day or week, it must surely be trapped by the same parameters. Otherwise what is the point of a junk filter?
