    I also couldn't get the junk mail filter to do anything at first.. I was
    patiently marking all my junk mail and moving it manually to the junk
    folder, but still it never did anything on its own. I went to the
    bugzilla site and apparently there is a bug that requires many people to
    first select some good messages and use the "mark selected as NOT junk"
    before it will start working. This fixed it for me.
