https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages was modeled to some degree on this article, to which I've made several edits over the years. As noted at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages/discuss/6626 I'm strongly considering reordering the SUMO article to put TRAINING before SETTINGS. Does that sound crazy to anyone? wsmwk 20:50, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Totally rewrote the article today to make it more straightforwardly "how to". Below is some commentary that I excised from the previous edit because, well, this kind of judgmental commentary belongs in Talk instead of the article. Wintogreen 11:53, 26 Mar 2005 (PST)

Most users, particularly those who are familiar with peer-to-peer spam fighting software (like Cloudmark's Safetybar for Outlook) will require patience with Thunderbird's bayesian filtering. Bayesian filtering alone is unlikely to be as good as P2P approaches. To date Thunderbird does not have an antispam application sufficiently accurate enough to "turn it on and forget about spam."

Coming soon
