why is a lot of spam mail coming in my gmail inbox now

As soon as it connected to the IMAP server it downloaded email for all folders and immediately moved the set of emails to the SPAM folder. The ONLY setup I did was to give it my account information. Today I backed up TB, Deleted it, and installed a new downloaded TB. I have turned off all of my filters, Turned off junk email processing, set options to ignore Spam Assassin, but nothing seems to help. **** So it ONLY moves when my TB client is running. If I shut TB down and move it back to the inbox using the IMAP website - it stays put again UNTIL TB is started again. It can take anywhere from a few seconds to 10 minutes, but it will ALWAYS move the same set of messages back to the SPAM folder. I have tried to find what triggers the move buy clicking 'Get Messages', switching between folder views, changing the check-mail frequency, but can't find what triggers the move. I can move it back to the inbox but it soon moves it back to the SPAM folder. If I do NOT use TB, but am using the IMAP server webmail page, these emails behave and stay in the IMAP Inbox.īut if I use TB - then it automatically moves some email (mostly Yahoo related) into the SPAM folder. It appears most (but not all) of the problem emails are from Yahoo Group emails.

Starting in early May 2019 Thunderbird is forcing some received email to the previously unused (and unseen by me) INBOX->SPAM folder on my IMAP host (Lunar Pages).
