Thunderbird is quite good at identifying junk emails. However, they identified junk emails are not moved to Junk folder automatically. Actually, there is no Junk folder. I thought it would be created automatically.

I have checked Tools > Options > Junk > When I mark messages as junk > Move them to the account's "Junk" folder.

Note that the option says When I mark messages as junk. I don't read that to mean that messages automatically marked as Junk would also move automatically.

If you manually mark a message as junk (press j or use the right-click menu and go to Mark) does it then move and provoke the creation of a Junk folder?

Thank you for the prompt answer. You are right - marking a message as junk by using the context menu moves it to the Junk folder. I have also found the Junk folder. I originally thought it was under Inbox, but I have just noticed it is at the save level as Inbox. Now, I just need to figure out a way to make Thunderbird move the messages thought as junk by Thunderbird to the Junk folder automatically. The accuracy of junk detection is almost 100%. Very impressive.
