The eternal struggle against junk mail!
In Mozilla Thunderbird, you can use various methods to identify and manage junk mail. Here are a few ways to do so:
- Junk Mail Filter: Thunderbird comes with a built-in junk mail filter that uses Bayesian filtering to identify spam. To enable it:
- Go to Tools > Account Settings > Composition & Addressing > Junk Mail Controls.
- Check the box next to "Enable junk mail controls".
- You can also adjust the sensitivity of the filter by moving the slider or setting a specific threshold.
- Mark as Junk: You can manually mark emails as junk by:
- Right-clicking on an email and selecting "Mark as Junk" (or "Junk" on some systems).
- Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows) or Command+Shift+J (Mac).
- Junk Mail Folder: Thunderbird creates a "Junk" folder in your account where it moves suspected spam emails. You can access this folder by:
- Going to the "Inbox" folder and clicking on the "Junk" folder in the folder list.
- Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows) or Command+Shift+J (Mac) to jump to the "Junk" folder.
- Blacklist and Whitelist: You can also add specific senders or domains to your blacklist or whitelist to help Thunderbird's junk mail filter:
- Go to Tools > Account Settings > Composition & Addressing > Junk Mail Controls.
- Click on the "Blacklist" or "Whitelist" button to add or remove entries.
- Third-party plugins: There are several third-party plugins available that can help you manage junk mail in Thunderbird, such as:
