why is thuinderbird **** at detecting spam lately?

[unwashed potato!]

seems like thundebird has stopped bothering to check spam lately in that i keep getting bank emails through. just now i got one from co-operative bank with an attached .html file. surely this basic spam anyone can detect?

 

[anything I don't mind]

email clients do no have spam detection, they have junk filtering. your email host should be handling the spam filtering.

But spam gets me worked up. I received a linkdn invite to my primary email from a recruitment agency and i almost lost it. I had to unsubscribe immediately. I have already closed a few email accounts due to spam, once you get on a list, you might as well close the account.

Thunderbird has never been good at filtering spam or junk, forward through or use a gmail account, end of discussion.
