Does TB add the ‘junk’ and ‘nonjunk’ keywords to email on IMAP servers (which support keywords) when determining email as junk (or not) and moving it to the spam folder (or not) whatever that happens to be named?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

I believe it does. There was a bug a few years ago about Thunderbird not using the IMAP spam tagging or whatever and it was an issue with yahoo and that was fixed.

Many thanks - now I know where the tags (or at least some of them) are coming from - it seems peculiar that TB is using 'nonjunk' instead of 'notjunk' as defined here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap-jmap-keywords/imap-jmap-keywords.xhtml But, there does seem some confusion between the two, see here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap-jmap-keywords/notjunk/notjunk-template ['... set or clear $NonJunk at any time.']
