#Go to the Tools menu and click on “Message Filters…” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_1.jpg] #2. On the window that pops up, click “New…” to create a new message filter for spam. *NOTE: If you have an old spam filter set up that filters on “X-Spam-Status” please delete it here. [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_2.jpg] #Give the filter a name (such as “Spam”) and click on the down arrow of the dropbox that currently says “Subject”. Find “Customize…” at the bottom of the list and click on it. [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_3.jpg] #In the pop-up window, under “New message header:” type {{ X-Spam-Flag }} #Click on the “Add” button next to it, and it will move it to the box below. Click OK. [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_4.jpg] #If it doesn’t automatically change the first drop-down box to “X-Spam-Flag” that you just added, click on the arrow again and choose it from the list. #In the 3rd box, type “YES” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_5.jpg] #Click the checkbox next to “Move to Folder” and select the folder that you want to move spam to. Click “OK” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/thunderbird_spam_6.jpg] #Your new filter should show up in the list now – you can close the window and you’re done!
