How can I get a spam folder for my email where you will put questionable messages?

If Thunderbird decides an email is spam - such as those from my church (!) - it just disappears. I have no spam folder. Is it up to me to create one? Will Thunderbird then recognize it? If I go to my internet provider's web mail, the messages are there in a spam file, but that's a pain. I recently created a "junk" folder, but church messages yesterday and today did not go there. Would they have had this folder been named "spam?"

Thunderbird does not use the word spam or use a folder called spam. Your provider does. If you are using IMAP then you need to subscribe to the spam folder on the providers server to see it. File-Subscribe If you are using POP then you have to go to the providers webmail page to view the spam folder..

Why, then, did Thunderbird used to warn me that a message might possibly be spam and allow me to make the decision whether it was or not, instead of just sending It out into the ether?

Thunderbird warns about Scam. Not the same thing. Both 4 letter words but spelled different.
