My domain is also hosted by google. I use filters on their side to sort incoming mail. Less work for T-Bird. And since the messages are presorted, I don't think the T-Bird Junk filtering is run on folders. I did a test over the past few days and had google put "spam" in a different folder than T-Bird. Only spam detected by google was present. The T-Bird controlled junk folder remained empty. > > Thunderbird junk detection does not have a great user interface.

And, yes, google isn't perfect and I do get the occasional false positive for spam. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
