Thunderbird for Isle of Harris email
|
Thunderbird has a brilliant spam filter and can be trained to recognise Junk emails by clicking on the Junk button and tagging an email as spam. Every now and again it falsely tags an email as spam/junk and in this case the Not Junk button has to be clicked by the user and it will learn not to tag that type of email as Junk again. The following show you how to configure Thunderbird's junk email settings.

The Isle of Harris email server also has a brilliant Spam filter. It uses SpamAssassin, and Thunderbird has an option to automatically recognise emails tagged as Spam/Junk by Spamassassin and automatically move them into its junk folder
Configure Junk Email Settings
1) Go to Thunderbirds Tools menu and select Account Settings
2) Click on the "Junk Settings" option highlighted in the above screenshot
3) Make sure the "Trust junk mail headers sent by" checkbox is ticked and that SpamAssassin is selected in the drop down box.
4) Click the OK button
The other options should be selected by default
Enable adaptive junk mail controls turns on/off Thunderbirds ability to learn spam from the Junk/Not Junk buttons
"Do not mark mail as junk if the sender is in personal address book" ensures that emails from people in your address book do not get marked as spam/junk
"Move new junk messages to" allows you to select a specific folder to move junk messages to.
Note: it is quite important to check your junk folder, it is possible for a genuine email to be tagged as spam and accidentally end up in the Junk folder.
