Let me explain there is some one with the following email:

noreply@redcarpetradar.robly.com

Whatever anyone does do NOT click on their links I believe it's a criminal organization trying to get to my account.

I know many of you may not be in my situation but I'm a bit job hungry cause financial hit really hard. I clicked on link without looking and the site pretended I needed to fill a job application out. So I did without looking to see who sent it. Yes, STUPID me.

For some reason I marked as junk and it's not going to where I need to and that is trash and immediately delete it. I try and see if I can setup a rule for that. But wondering if there a extension that might do a better job. I tried to unsubscribe but these guys keep hitting back. That one sign of hackers trying to penetrate.

So now I'm wondering is there anything else I might be over looking. One think I keep thinking about is why NOT put something a tool that will do similar to mxtoolbox. With AI out there it's going to get harder to keep these criminals out of our inboxes.

I appreciate any feedback.

Is there a way to make Thunderbird check the server Junk folder when I open the Thunderbird Junk folder? When I empty my Junk folder, sometimes it will find there are more on the server and delete those too, so I never get to see them. Thanks

When I receive a junk email, it spends a brief time in my inbox before being moved to the spam folder by the automatic classifier of Thunderbird. In that brief window, the notification system already displays the notification. I found no way of changing that behavior. Is this normal behavior? How to change it?

I get your begging for money, you are obviously young, I have donated more money to you already than all my other email providers combined, period, you will allow me to move , remove as much as I want or I can delete you and you lose any future donations, but ticking me off with this we think this is junk crap trying to get more money from me only makes me want to DELETE YOU YOUNG PEOPLE, you act just like your buddy Google, lmk Anthony, or stop the bs

I'm concerned I've got my Junk set up so that TB is not actually learning what is spam, plus spam is not easy to delete.

First question. What is putting [SPAM] in headers before emails arrive? Is it SpamAssassin? I use my own website/email address and my host uses Spam Assassin. My host in addition has their own native Bayesian spam, but that would use *****SPAM***** headers and I never get these.

The problem is this. Most junk arrives marked [SPAM] but doesn't go in the Junk folder, which is the only folder with one-click Empty Junk. So I have filters set up to direct headers with [SPAM] in into the Junk folder.

(i) the [SPAM] arrives in the Junk folder not marked as Junk even though the filters are carefully set up to "Set Junk status to: Junk"

(ii) it doesn't seem possible to bulk mark the contents of the Junk folder as Junk. If I click the flame icon in the header row once, then all the flame icons are switched to not-Junk as expected. But if I click it again then only some, not all, are changed back to Junk. IE completely different from normal all-off/all-on conventions.

(ii) some [SPAM] ends up in the Spam folder despite the filters. This looks like pure filter failure.

The goal is the get all the [SPAM] messages in the Junk folder along with the Junk the TB itself puts there, so (a) I can delete them with a single click plus (b) all marked as Junk so the TB is learning from the [SPAM] emails.

How can I do that please? What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks.

I'm a bit lost with the instructions http://mzl.la/1BsOG2o My thunderbird looks different I don't see a "Trust junk mail headers set by" option. What would be the proper way?

What is the function of File / Empty Trash? Will it empty trash in all mail accounts or only the selected? If I select Blogs & News feeds will File / Empty Trash empty read posts there as well? Empty Trash is a bit unclear.
