I updated to NIS 2012 and started using TB 6.
In Outlook, there is AntiSpam Toolbar, but not in TB.
How to know for sure that NIS 2012 is mornitoring my TB?
Please help me config or adjust..
Norton does not integrate with Thunderbird the same way as Outlook and Outlook Express. It would be necessary for you to manually build a Norton anti-spam folder and then build message rules to accomodate. There is no anti-spam toolbar for Thunderbird.
I find Thunderbird's own anti-spam engine to be just as efficient, if not more so, and have disabled email scanning. Incoming emails are still scanned by auto-protect and sonar. You must also be careful to exclude your inbox from scans as Tbird considers it one large file. If a threat is found in a message, the whole thing goes.
This is a very good explanation from SendOfJive:
Hi THACH19T,
Spam should still be getting the [Norton AntiSpam] tag appended to it. But in Thunderbird Norton will place the messages in your Inbox. As delphinium points out, you can create a message rule in Thunderbird to move any message with that notation to either the Junk Folder, or a Norton AntiSpam folder that you create yourself.
As delphinium says, TB also has its own antispam functionality, and it is quite good.
