I set up a new computer, windows 11, and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird. On the old computer the spam filter works normal, on the new computer Thunderbird puts a lot of normal mail in the spam folder. Is there a way to set the spam filter to not flag so many emails. I use gmail for my mail server. My iphone also uses the same gmail account and does not filter these messages

Setting up a new Thunderbird and training the spam filter is like having a new child: the training all begins again from scratch. This URL may help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages the filter gets smarter the more you identify the good and the bad. Good luck.
