If you want, check the Download messages now box to download all the messages from the e-mail
server. Thunderbird downloads messages again every 10 minutes, or you can click the Get Msgs
button at any time in the main Thunderbird window.
When you are all done, Thunderbird displays the mail user interface, shown in Figure 22-8.
With the Junk Mail feature, Thunderbird automatically tags any message it believes to be
junk mail with a blue recycle-bin icon. Using the Junk toolbar, you train the Junk Mail
feature by telling it when a message is or isn??™t junk mail. After you have identified which messages are
junk mail, you can automatically move incoming junk mail to the Junk folder.
