Here is some information on the spam filtering;
Thunderbird uses Bayesian filtering to classify junk mail, which is a system that requires some degree of user intervention and training (see the FAQ on the next page for an explanation of how Bayesian filtering works). In order to train Thunderbird to weed out spam, you have to manually mark messages as Junk by either clicking the Junk icon or going to File | Message | Mark | As Junk. But the important factor to remember here is that you also need to mark your “good” messages by going to Message | Mark | As Not Junk (note that no icon is available for this in the toolbar). That way, you train the filter on both ends and ensure that a better percentage of spam will be captured.

Thunder Bird does not have a calendar feature like outlook. Thunderbird is a stripped down mail client that only does mail. If you want Calendar features, look for Sunbird. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/

What kind of spam filter does it have? Do you know if there is a calendar extension for it? I use the calendar and email in my Outlook a lot.
