The Thunderbird on my Linux Mint filters 100% of spam. The Thunderbird on Windows 10 doesn't filter any at all, even when I mark e-mails spam over and over.
The Thunderbird installed on Linux Mint catches spam 100%. The Thunderbird on Windows 10 catches no spam even though I label email spam over and over again. Thanks.

Are the same accounts on the Linux and Windows computers? TB doesn't label anything as 'spam'. It uses the term 'junk', and mail providers often use 'spam' and apply it before mail is received by TB.
Do you have TB's Junk Controls activated on the Windows PC?

Sorry, I meant "Junk". I don't think that TB's Junk Control is activated properly on the Windows computer. Could you show me how? Thanks again.
Each account has a Junk Settings section in Tools/Account Settings.

You can consider copying the training.dat file from the Linux Profile folder to the Windows profile; the file is stored in the account subfolder in Mail or ImapMail.
Hi. Yes the TB on the Windows computer the "Enable Adaptive Junk Mail Controls" is checked. I clicked the "Global Junk Preferences" on the Local Folders Junk Setting and it does absolutely nothing. I haven't tried copying .dat file to my TB on Windows. I'm going to try linking both TB's into one account. I just need some guidance on how to do it. Thanks again.
I would strongly suggest you not try and use the same profile in Linux and windows. there are just to many reasons for it to fall in a heap.
The "Tools" drop down interface and the other drop downs from the top bar in Linux TB are similar but the options are not the same. As I said, the Linux TB works perfectly. In the past the Windows TB has occasionally crashed when I'm forwarding an email. Today something happened that has never happened before in my Windows TB. I had 90+ emails this morning. I was reading about number five or six and then all of a sudden the rest of the emails disappeared. The program stayed open but the were not in any other place. They disappeared out of thin air. I decided to uninstall TB and am now using Windows mail. I appreciate all you guys do and thanks again.
