As of 7/19/2015 McAfee Anti-Spam stopped working after the T-bird update to the McAfee extension. I am using Windows 7. McAfee is McAfee Anti-Spam Version 15.0 ,Thunderbird is 38.1.0. Thunderbird Add-on did an update today to McAfee Anti-spam extension 2.0. When I mouse right-click, the option to mark an e-mail as spam is gone. When I use the button at the top of the page to mark an e-mail as spam, nothing happens. I spent some time with a McAfee representative who ended up telling me to call back in a few days if the issue didn't resolve itself.

Personally I would just remove McAfee, it has made a mess of successive versions of Thunderbird for about 3 years.

I have this problem too. McAfee was unable to help.
