Junk mail management in Thunderbird 2.0.0.4

I'm a recent user of Thunderbird 2.0.0.4, and I'm enjoying it a lot. However, I still don't know how I can train the program to recognize junk mail... I read the tutorial located at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls, but it seems that the instructions there are for earlier versions of Thunderbird. I simply can't find options like "junk mail controls ", "adaptive filters" or "enable adaptive junkmail detection" in my version of TB. Does anyone know where these options are in TB 2.0.0.4? I believe that these steps might have been simplified in TB 2.0+, but I haven't figured out yet where the new options are.

 

Hi Cesar,

Apparently that page hasn't been updated. You can find the Junk Controls at Tools > Account Settings > Junk Settings. Personally, I have mine set to move junk messages to the Trash folder, rather than the Junk folder ... saves a step when deleting them.

 

Thanks, Jim! I have found those options (Tools/Account Settings/Junk Settings) before, but that outdated tutorial was so thorough and had so many different options that I thought I had missed something when trying to do the same in TB 2.0.0.4... Now I know that TB 2.0+ has indeed simplified those steps a lot.

 

I am with Jim. If I get some Junk mail, and, I don't get much, I forward it to my ISP spam controls., and then I give it the treatment mentioned by Jim.
I don't recall ever seeing similar mail since my ISP adjusts its spam settings. But, otherwise there is little effort on my part.
I, always, take a look at the message without opening it, via View|Message source, first.
