Once you have enabled your junk filtering in Thunderbird, you must check the junk folder frequently throughout the day to check for legitimate messages. If you find something that was marked as junk, and it should not be, right click on the message and select As Not Junk. This adds the sender to your local directory and prevents future messages from then going to junk.

Similarly, if you find something in your Inbox that should be marked as Junk, right click on the message and select As Junk .  Future messages from this sender will go to the Junk folder.
