how do i get junk mail coming into my thunderbird account on iPhone to automatically go to the junk folder?
I receive approximately 200-300 junk emails to my iPhone Thunderbird account each day. My desktop application does a pretty good job of sending this directly to my junk folder. Of course there are new addresses everyday that I need to move (and train) Thunderbird to identify as junk. I do the same thing from my phone (highlight the junk mail and move it to the junk folder). But for some reason, I continue to get hundreds of junk e-mails from the same address as the ones I have already junked.
Is there any way to keep those junk e-mails from coming to my inbox. This daily or twice-daily process of moving junk email is getting tiresome.
Many thanks! Jim

First of all, there is no such thing like a 'Thunderbird account'. You have registered an account with your email provider. Using Thunderbird is one way to access the account, via iPhone is another way. Thunderbird has a built-in junk filter. I don't know what an iPhone offers in terms of junk filtering. If your account is set-up as IMAP, you'd need to do the junk classification only once. Any message classified as junk (and moved to the junk folder) on the phone would also appear in the junk folder for Thunderbird. So what's your account type?
In any case, most email providers do junk filtering on the server. That makes more sense, as the junk wouldn't need to be downloaded to the phone in the first place. Check your account settings on the server and enable junk filtering if not done yet.
