Thunderbird isn't learning to remove the spam

I look forward to your newsletter each week and print it so I can read and keep it. It' very helpful for me.
About the subject, Thunderbird Spam Control, I've been using ThunderBird for a long time. Each day I go through my mail and designate those mails which are spam by sending them to the trash. T'Bird designates those it thinks is spam and mostly I confirm by sending it to trash. The same mail from the same sites, over and over, yet T'bird NEVER LEARNS. Could you put this in your letter to collect other experiences on this? It would be a big help to me and I am sure I am not alone in this experience.
Keep on keeping on.

I'll recommend that you visit SnapFiles and put a mail filtering proxy in place. Several are good but I'd lean towards Spam Assassin (SA Proxy).

Later I found that Spam Assassin is no longer a supported product. It seems that Yahoo gobbled up this company and I can't find a new copy of it a the Stata Labs website. Somehow, SnapfilesFreeware has a recent copy of the latest version of it. It was updated just a few days ago. Maybe someone at Stata is working in secret?
How about the rest of you out there? Has anyone else had good luck with a spam filter for their email client? Do you know of any better ways to train Thunderbird?
