I have 2 email accounts, a yahoo account and one issues by my ISP. I use Thunderbird for the email issued by my ISP and noticed that when sending email to ISP account from my yahoo account, I am not getting them. I checked the spam folder and they are not in there either. I have noticed some continual emails that I would normally get stopped as well. Any ideas?

What is your account type - POP or IMAP?

My ISP email (dolfan) is POP. I am currently also trying to see about setting up my yahoo account within Thunderbird.

See I have folders created within Thunderbird and have an email that was sent to my yahoo account that I would like to file into a folder within my dolfan account.

With POP there is no way to check the spam folder on the server. So you'll need to login to your account via webmail and check the spam folder on the server (assuming your email provider does spam filtering).
