Resolved How do I keep email from going to the spam folder in Thunderbird

I use TB 3.1 and Gmail. I don't have a spam folder in TB, (I thought I use to have but I don't anymore for whatever reason), but when I go to Gmail directly I find emails from certain sites I don't want to ignore. How can I keep certain emails from being recognized as spam when they are not. It seems to happen mostly wit email newsletters from one or 2 of by senders.
Can anyone help? I'd appreciate it.

Yes, I have a Gmail account that I download through TB. The problem I don't ever get to see the filtered stuff in the spam folder until I go to https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inboxThe spam never makes it to TB.

You can try the Webmail Notifier addon. You can set up all sorts of accounts in TB, and such mail will appear in a separate Tab. I don't have Gmail, but it works fine with Yahoo mail, and it looks the same as it does at a website. Alternately, Yahoo mail set up as an IMAP account, will show its Bulk/Spam folder.

 

are you using gmail pop or imap access.

I don't know about how imap works, but in pop you have to log into gmail.com and manually move mail from spam into the inbox. Gmail automatically deletes spam messages after 30 days. I always manaully login into my accounts every 25 days. That was I can catch the false spam messages.

As far as I know there is no way of turning off gmails spam filtering.

 

From what you describe, Yahoo and Gmail have pretty much the same set up.
And, Yahoo mail set up as a POP account did not show the spam, already filtered off.
Although the IMAP setup works for Yahoo, I am not counting on it. It seems that every time they make changes, either POp or IMAP don't work. That's why I use theWebmail notifier addon, which displays my Yahoo mail as if Thunderbird was a browser. Why don't you take a look at the link that I gave you?
Alternately, take a look at Gmail IMAP setup. I got the info at the gmail site.
