I have used Pop Peeper for years and recently I decided to use TB. However, after spending many many hours reading stuff and working with TB, now it seems to me that for some unclear reason, TB cannot just ignore the "spam" (or junk) folder in yahoo mail, whereas Pop Peeper easily does this. How come Pop Peeper can easily ignore the "spam" folder in yahoo mail, and TB cannot do that? Did I miss a setting/configuration somewhere? When TB reads the spam folder in yahoo mail, it then shows the spam emails in the unified inbox, and it becomes a big head ache specially if one has many yahoo accounts. So, the main question is this: why TB has to read the spam folder of yahoo mail to begin with? And secondly, is there a way/work around for this issue?

If your account to yahoo is pop, Thunderbird can only access the inbox as that is the only folder that exists in the pop universe. So if yahoo place the contents of their bulk mail folder into the pop inbox it is something you will need to take up with yahoo.

If it is an imap account then simply right click the account in the folder pane and select subscribe and unsubscribe from the bulk mail folder.
