How to turn off junk controls?

[The Real Bev]

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?

In Seamonkey, edit - preferences - Junk & Suspect Mail - UNcheck "When I
mark messages ..." and any other options there that you might not like.

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

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.

That only seems to cover messages that I deliberately mark as Junk, not
its own decision-making process, but I unchecked everything on that page
anyway. We'll see...

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.
