Can Thunderbird be opened to a folder other than inbox.
We're all pretty much flooded with junk mail. I'm to the point where it would be more effective to open Mozilla to a custom folder (i.e. not inbox) and populate that folder with selected contacts (i.e. not all contacts).
Any thoughts?
filtering out junk is just getting too cumbersome, it would be much easier to filter based on contact name.
Example of how it would work:
1) Set Thunderbird to open specific folder
2) Select email that gets sent to that folder via Contacts

This sounds like you have not set up Junk Controls nor trained TB to recognise Junk.
I set up Junk Controls, trained it to recognise both what is good and what is Junk. Now all Junk goes to Junk folder automatically. My Inbox rarely gets Junk and if it does I mark it as Junk and TB remembers this.
Please read info on setting up all the various sections to do with Junk Controls. Work through each section.
Additional: The Inbox should be used as an Inbox and not as a general store, so keep it low in email numbers and compact frequently.
