Will marking as junk scams spoofed from my address stop me seeing emails to myself?
Recently there's been an epidemic of scams which come from your own email address to "prove" they've hacked your account. I've not been marking these as junk, because I'm worried that any messages I send to myself will then also be marked as junk. But that's meant I'm manually deleting dozens of these a day.
Is the Thunderbird junk filter smart enough to still let through legitimate messages to myself if I do mark these as junk?
Thanks.

Thunderbird junk filter does not have regard to email addresses. it uses the message content and to some extent headers, but as you say, the email address is simply not relevant and can in fact be misleading.
Just be aware some mail providers do not even deliver mail sent to yourself. Google being the biggest in that regard.
