Thunderbird was classifying some messages from family members as junk, but you have to configure it to automatically move messages flagged as junk from the inbox to a junk folder. My ISP moves messages to a junk folder before they reach the inbox. Only a few get classed as junk by the Thunderbird filter. Thunderbird junk detection does not have a great user interface. It requires you to train junk detection, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages: Secondly, you must *constantly* train the filter by marking a quantity of GOOD messages as not junk - messages in your Inbox AND messages that have been filtered into other folders. You must use the keyboard upper case J, because there is no button - the "Not Junk" button appears only for messages that have already been classified as junk. Marking several messages per week will be sufficient. You can select many messages and mark them all at the same time. Note - unfortunately nothing in the user interface indicates whether a message has already been marked as "not junk". -- George N. White III
