Some emails that I mark as Junk are moved straight to Delete and Tbird does not learn, do I have to build a filter for each of these?

There are some emails that I do not wish to have in my inbox as they are spam and possibly carrying links that could infect. Use AVG as my blocker. I keep marking these as junk in the hope that Tbird will learn to send them to Junk as it does with most of the others I have marked. However these are sent straight to deleted folder and Tbird does not auto mark them next time they appear. The only solution I can find is to build a filter system as per your help section. Is it possible for a tweak to the junk settings to capture these spam emails. Thanks Gouldie

I'm using F-secure as my blocker, and tell it to mark suspisius email as "SPAM" in the header. I made a rule to move all that contained SPAM as first word in the header into spam-folder. I have removed that rule and teached TB to do it by itself.
