thunderbird junk mail, how to control or eliminate?

Post by frog62 »

In Thunderbird, how can I control Junk Mail and Spam? There does not seem to be an available explaination in the Support postings I read. My email junk is beyond my mental capacity and getting worse. I simply label items a 'junk', and they return and seem to generate more. A
Where are filters and firewalls for this? How do I delete FOREVER most of this Junk? It's a flood! It's a tornado of Spam! It's the hurricane of Marketeers! Help!

When I try to do this, no matter what happens, I cannot get any of my address books to appear in 'Do not mark as junk if the sender is in...'!
