You might try turning off the spam filter at the server and deal with it
locally. Thunderbird has a reasonable heuristics based junk/spam filter,
so you would still have the same opportunity to verify whether or not
your "spam" is still spam. Thunderbird will also move the email on the
server based on your selection. It took me a while to get used to that
and I am thinking about going back to Outlook and the MS Office Suite,
but haven't decided yet.

My problem is there are things happening before it ever gets to my
software. The issue is at the server level. It was / is function,
not security. I would normally get 3 to 5 e-mails a day and 25 to
30+ spams on the server. I would delete the spams on the server every
couple of days after checking them to insure they were in fact all
spam. They never downloaded to my home computer. I got all my test,
a test from my wife, all post from the net, all one of them other than
my test, and on the server there is only one spam. There should have
be 50+ spams on the server. Someone in tech support changed
something after telling me there was nothing they could do. I can
only assume I'm getting all my e-mails but there is no way of knowing.
As for updating my software I'll upgrade from Windows 7 when they pry
it from my bony old fingers. One of my Observations on Life is
"Stubborn grows on old age like wrinkles". Everyone catches it if
they live long enough.
