Does this help anyone? Works for me.
If an issue cannot, or will not be fixed, a solution (aka: a workaround), should not be complicated. Otherwise, we are building more problems, on top of old problems, on top of weak foundations. I could go on for pages, but I digress.
For the last week or so, when my bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER folder/s, are sprinkled with already-identified, non-bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER mail, I run my filters on the bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER folder/s! My already-identified non-bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER, emails merrily go into their own boxes. I stay and watch the bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER folder/s, because formerly, a manual weeding of the bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER folder/s, used to ensure a quick, but plain to see, return to the bulk/junk/spam/whatEVER folder/s, with its junk-mail icon, reapplied!
It is a simple workaround that works for me. I hope it helps someone else who has this over-the-top, irritating event. If you can't make them stay out of the whatEVER folder, move into the folder and kick them out, from the inside.

My incoming emails from my bank, and several of my friends go to my BULK mailbox. The senders are all in my address book. Also, the addresses are all in my online Yahoo account address book. They all have filters built in TB, for those senders. When I mark one as NOT JUNK (TB's terminology), they go from the BULK folder, to the INBOX, and almost immediately, they go back into the BULK folder. I've watched it happen. It DOES happen!
It certainly does. Yahoo is a nasty kettle of fish like that. But it should not be nearly as common as it was with earlier versions of Thunderbird. What version exactly are you using? Only the last couple of versions have played well with Yahoo in regard to bulk mail.
As I said, I have filter rules set-up for ALL of these senders, in TB, AND in Yahoo.

Yes, I'm on Yahoo mail. Yes, I'm on IMAP. So what?
So you are using a synchronized service. I seriously suspect the spam classification is not being made by Thunderbird, but by yahoo.
When a message comes into my email box, why does TB send them to BULK?!
Lets look at that.
This image shows a listing of mail Thunderbird has detected as spam/junk. Note the orange icons.
The following is a list of junk mail that is detected by the server, in your case yahoo.
Note the absence of the orange icon Thunderbird uses.
Now armed with a method to determine where the detection is occurring, are your issues with Thunderbird's detection or Yahoo's? To the best of my knowledge the flame icon is the simplest and most obvious method of determining the source of the detection.
I spent most of today, trying to find an answer. All I am finding are answers that blame Yahoo, and ME THE USER... most of them borderline condescending!
The subject matter is what it is. If you don't like the answers that is seriously your issue. Facts are facts.
Please, do not respond if you are going to tell me what I am doing wrong! Is this, or is this not an issue that TB are working on?No, this is not an issue that is actively being worked on. There is no issue that you have so far demonstrated that is outside the bounds of Yahoos right to do whatever they like with regard to Spam/junk and Thunderbird adherence to the IMAP protocol to synchronize mail. If we can find something to work on is still up to you, as you have still to identify where you mail being determined to be spam is occuring.
