Been using TB for email since we got new PC with Win8.1, and now we have many emails in the junk folder. By deleting all those emails, will I be harming TB's junk mail logic, or will it still remain effective?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

you should empty junk regularly and also compact the INBOX and all other folders. As mail isn't deleted or moved, they are just marked not to be shown. They still take up space in your folder until compacting.
