Severe issue with the spam filter

I have recently enabled the spam filter for Thunderbird, which apparently is adaptative, however, there is a severe bug with this feature.

I have got up to 3 legitimate email address being sent to the spam folder, and when I click on Mark > Legitimate email, said emails go to the inbox but last around 2 minutes there (only to go back to the spam folder)... I do not really understand why the software is not processing this fix...

Thank you in advance for any help!
