In case of junkmail, Th. says: Th. thinks this is junkmail. Then one can click a button saying: not junk. But it is not possible to agree. Why not?

I want to be able to agree with Th's opinion about specific e-mails just received. Now I have to select the message and click the junk sign. So please build a button next to the one "not junk", that says something like: yes I too think this is junk ! Please move this message to my junk folder! And then when I click that new button, the message gets moved to my junk folder, and Th. does that automatically the next time that I receive mail from that adress. I hope that one of your developers at least understands what I mean. With kind regards, Henk van der Linden P.S: Where I write Th. you may read Thunderbird..  ;-)

You don't need to agree. Thunderbird has already classified it as Junk. So why not just delete it? Why would you waste time moving it to the Junk folder?

The sender's address is not used in junk classification or recognition.

Thanks for your answer. But the thing is: when I just delete it, does Th. learn from it? There are messages that I do not regard as junk mail, but I delete them anyway. I do not want messages from that adress to go into the junk folder automatically, the next time. So I want to make it clear to Th. that I agree. Yes indeed, this is junk, throw away anything coming from that adress immediately! I hope that now you understand what I mean.

You still appear to think the address the mail is from is relevant. It is not. IF it is in your address book and your settings require it, no mail from folk in your address book will be considered junk. It does not work the same way in reverse.

AS far a teaching Thunderbird. You go to your junk folder and unmark mail as junk that Thunderbird has got wrong, not agree with it's initial classification. One reason to not immediately delete such mails.

Deleted mail is not involved in junk processing as all. logically all mail should eventually be deleted. Once it's usefulness ends
