Thunderbird Junk Mail Controls stopped working.

stopped. Now I must wade through the entire list and sort out the junk
mail manually. Any ideas on how I might fix this?

In TB 2.0, the Junk settings are on an account by account basis, in
Account Settings. First, make suer the accounts are set up correctly.
Also, make sure the default settings are correct in Tools>>Options>>Privacy.
Assuming the settings are correct, you may need to click the Reset
Training Data button. This basically erases the filters and you start
over with training.

Mine didn't stop working but they seem to have become much less
effective with the recent upgrade - more gets missed. The setting are
unchanged as they should be.

As Lee said, you may need to reset and retrain the filter. As time goes
on the spammers change tactics and the content of their spam in ways
that make a filter less effective simply because it is no longer seeing
the same "clues" that would tell it a message is spam.
Retraining is the only resort.

I've had an odd incident along these lines. My Junk mail stopped
working (well, caught about .05% of junk mails) as of Dec 24 2007. I
debated un- and reinstalling for days (I was off for a two week
vacation) and never did. Now, today, Jan 3 2008, it's working again.
NO updates to the client (same version as when it stopped working).
This is just bizarre.

How do you get Thunderbird to automatically move emails IT identifies
as spam into the junk folder?
It's all well and good correctly telling spam from ham, but it would
be great if it actually did the useful bit of moving it to Junk!
