I can't mark some email messages as spam. They instantly deselect themselves in a fraction of second (I can briefly see the flame). The mistake does not appear with every junk mail I get but only with some. I'm using Thunderbird 38.7.1 with an IMAP account from the Internet service provider "1und1".

I would be grateful if anyone could help me solve this problem.

I believe so. I have seen the opposite with an outlook.com account - it wouldn't let me mark a message as Not Junk. I too have a 1&1 account (via gmx.com) but I haven't seen that account misbehave in this way.

And of course I should have said "Try moving them to the Local Folders Inbox and then mark them as Junk."

Try moving them to the Local Folders Inbox and then mark them as Not Junk.

I tried this and yes it works. I can mark the junk mail as usual in a local folder. Does that mean that the unwished behaviour is not caused by Thunderbird but my service provider?
