How to turn off junk controls?

I've found way too many messages in my Junk folder from friends,
brokers, etc. I mark them 'not junk' but that just moves them back to
the inbox and seems to have no other effect. Retraining hasn't helped.
I'd like to completely turn off the junk controls, but that doesn't seem
possible.
Any magic I can perform to kill the thing?

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

That only seems to cover messages that I deliberately mark as Junk, not

Have you compacted your junk folder?

One of your junk files may have gotten corrupted - you can safely delete
(or rename) junk.msf and see if any difference. Rename training.dat (or
deleting it) would set you back to square one and allow Tb to retrain
itself.

I posted this into both moz.gen and moz.support.TB. I expected it to
get canceled in m.s.TB, but not here. Guess what. Canceled in both
places. I thought Chris didn't touch the stuff here. Guess I was wrong.
I compacted everything and told TB not to do anything with stuff I mark
as spam. Now it marks stuff as spam but leaves it in my inbox. I'm
going to go back to telling it to delete stuff I mark as spam and see
what happens.

Copied for your convenience.
Select the account from the Folder Pane.
Select "View settings for this account".
Select Junk Settings and remove check marks as desired.
There are Junk settings in the Security tab of Preferences you may also
want to take a look at and adjust to your liking.

But, as Walt says he saw it in m.s.tb, I don't know!! Maybe, Walt saw it
before Chris did!!

Cancels don't affect the posts in google groups, so I went there and looked.

You're correct. The server only has one copy of each message, and

cancelling a message removes that copy.
