I had the opposite problem. I made sure to train Thunderbird's junk filter on every piece of mail that came in. I gave up on it when it was still only catching about 50% of the spam after a couple of months of training. I must have been doing something wrong since other people have reported good results with it. Fortunately, SA works just fine, so now I ignore Thunderbird's spam filter and work with SA's spam tags instead. -- Bowie
