Mozilla Thunderbird is a powerful email application that can help you stay organized and keep you protected from viruses and spam. It is not the answer to all problems, but it is a great start and best of all it's a free download from the offical website.

The junk mail folder
In the junk mail folder you will see that the Junk button is now a Not Junk button.
