Junk still goes into one of the sent folders but there is no empty junk in drop down menu and the junk icon has changed to sent folder icon. Sent folder works fine. All my account setting (5) point to Junk on local folders all accounts come into local folders Inbox. All accounts are POP. I looked in config editor and searched folder and found several Junk folder entries: mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetFolder;mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk mail.server.server2.directory;C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\y13olpg6.default\Mail\Local Folders mail.server.server2.spamActionTargetAccount;mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders mail.server.server2.spamActionTargetFolder;mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk
