Is there a way to manually move junk mails to junk folder in Thunderbird?
I have multiple email accounts configured in Thunderbird with
- enabled adaptive junk mail controls for each account,
- enabled “When I mark messages as junk, move them to the account’s junk folder” and
- enabled “Mark messages determined as junk as read”.
That mean’s that Thunderbird marks junk emails with a flame symbol and keeps them in the inbox. That’s expected, because I get an overview of junk and important emails, but sometimes the junk filter is too aggressive, and I don’t want to search for important mails in the junk folder.
Whenever Thunderbird forgets to mark a junk email, I can mark it and the email is moved into junk folder.
But how can I move the marked emails in my inbox into the junk folder. I found two approaches.
- Select the emails. Unmark them. Mark them as junk again. It works, but I guess it confuses the junk filter
- Select and right-click the emails, “Move to” -> email account -> junk folder. It works, but it’s error-prone. It’s possible to choose the wrong the email account or wrong folder. Furthermore, it takes some time to find the correct folder for some of my email accounts containing many folders.
It thought, I found a third solution, but actually it doesn’t work. There is: Select and right-click the junk emails, “Move to [LAST FOLDER] again”, but this causes junk mails from account 1 to be moved into the junk folder of account 2.
Is there an option, similar to mark as junk and move to junk folder, but for already marked emails?
