I use Tbird as a webmail application, and I have found that the 
filtering in 115.16.0esr (64-bit) works okay.

I created, at my hosting ISP, a Junk folder, into which I direct various 
spam and malicious email, and, it goes in there okay, for me to check 
and to do a mass delete as required, and, that way, I reduce the 
unwanted email from being downloaded.

I use alpine for downloading and storing email, as I have found alpine 
to be the most powerful and reliable end user email application, and I 
have somewhere around a thousand folders and about a thousand filters, 
some with a hundred or so filter values, and, about 18-20GB of stored 
email, going back to about the start of the century.

If you have problems with Tbird, two user mailing lists exist at 
groups.io, one for blind or visually impaired users, and, one for 
general users.
