[SGVLUG] Good howto on spam fighting.

[James Neff]

Does anyone know how to get Thunderbird to automatically move spam to 
the Junk folder for messages that it deems is spam?

Under account settings I've tried to set the "move new junk messages 
to:  Junk folder on Local Folders" but I still get new messages which 
Thunderbird marks as spam sitting in my Inbox. 

Anyone else do that?

Thanks,
Jim
