'''NOTE: Given the "in progress" migration of this forum, this response (and maybe your question), may disappear later.''' ----------------------------------- The only reasonable reason I can think of as to why you cannot see the Junk/Spam folder is because you are using an IMAP account and have not subscribed to the Junk/Spam folder. In the list of folders on the left side of Thunderbird, right-click your e-mail account name and choose "Subscribe". Now select (put a checkmark in each box), for the Junk/Spam folder(s). In fact, select every folder. Then click the "Subscribe" button on the right. Then click the OK button. Quit Thunderbird, and restart it.
