In Thunderbird, it is possible to create rules to file your messages for you as they are received. In order to create a rule to move any messages marked as spam by the Barracuda, simply follow these directions.

To see a larger version of any of these images, simply click on them.

If you do not already have a folder that you'd like to use for filing spam messages into, we'll need to create one.

Right-click on your account name in the folder list, and select "New Folder..."

In the "New Folder" dialog, enter the name of the folder. In this case, we'll be using "Spam-Barracuda". Press "OK" to create the folder, and it will show up in your folder list.

Click "OK"

If you want to run the rule against your Inbox now, click the "Run Now" button back on the Message Filters window.

Click for larger image

Close the Message Filters window.

Thunderbird will now file any messages you receive which the Barracuda has marked as spam into the newly-created Spam-Barracuda folder for you.

If you would like to add additional rules to filter out messages with lower Barracuda Spam scores that you still consider spam, see the instructions here.
