SPAM Filter Works only on the first account. How can I make it work on other accounts?

Our ISP switched to Yahoo mail and ever since there is SPAM. The Thunderbird adaptive filter works fine in the first account. But it does not work in my other accounts. How can I make it work in all accounts?

Junk Controls need to be set up on each mail account.

Please note if you have any folder called 'Spam' then it is a folder on the server for an imap mail account which you have subscribed to see.

Thunderbird uses a folder called 'Junk' which will be visible for those using pop mail accounts.

Thank you for your suggestion. All POP accounts have the filtering set up the same way. There is also an IMAP account but there is no problem there. The filter in the first account is well trained and I only need to mark mail occasionally. In the second account, I mark it constantly but the filter does not seem to learn. According to the article you linked, the same training information is used for all accounts, but it seems to work well only on the first.
