Meaning, having TB filters for all the people I know and have the rest go to a Junk / Unknown folder for review.
I've got the first part working (all the people I know) - how do I get the rest to go to an Junk / Unknown folder ?
TIA, Duaine
Right above the " message preview" there's a row of buttons. One of them says "Junk". Whatever you don't want will show up in your "Inbox" if you have everything you do want filtered to go somewhere else. Under "Edit" > "Account Settings" you will find multiple "Junlk Settings". When you receive a message that you consider "junk" click the "Junk" button. Over time Thunderbird will "learn" what you consider junk and deal with it as you specify in your "Junk Settings". I recommend that you spend some time with your ATT/Yahoo account online to "teach" it also. I find that Yaho has some excellent junk filters if properly "taught" what you see as junk. Roughly 99+% of my spam/junk now winds up in the Yahoo "Spam" folder. It never even makes it to my computer. Less that one percent of the mail I do want ever goes to "Spam" now. I still check it regularly but seldom find my good mail in there. I've been checking mine several times a day for over two years now "teaching" Yahoo what I want and don't want. About once or twice a month something gets through to the Thunderbird junk folder now. New sources of spam/junk appear all the time so it's an ongoing battle. The up side is that yahoo is doing a really good job of recognizing new sources and dealing appropriately with it. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
