Tagging a mail as Junk
If I tag a mail as "Junk" by using the junk icon & then delete the mail, does this train the filter system to block these mails? Also if I move mails to Junk folder & then delete does this also train the filters to block in future?

Marking a message 'As Junk' by using the Junk icon will train the filter. What you will do with a tagged message afterwards is irrelevant, unless you mark it 'As Not Junk'. Marking a message as Junk will move the message to the designated Junk or Spam folder. There is no need to manually delete it there, you can tell Thunderbird to do that automatically, e.g. after 14 days.

Manually moving a message to the designated Junk or Spam folder will not train the filter. You'll have to mark it 'As Junk' for the filter to be trained. Whether you do that prior to or after moving it to the Junk folder doesn't matter. The flame icon in the thread pane indicates when Thunderbird has classified a message 'As Junk', either automatically or after marked 'As Junk' manually.
Note, the filter also gets trained by marking legitimate messages 'As Not Junk'.

I could not fully understand the details in the link you supplied, which is why I asked the question:- If I tag a mail as "Junk" by using the junk icon & then delete the mail, does this train the filter system to block these mails? Also if I move mails to Junk folder & then delete does this also train the filters to block in future?
