To get Mark as Junk to work you need to install an anti-spam plug-in
like Achim Winkler's BayesFilter (http://www.lkcc.org:8500/index.php).
After a short time of training it will recognize most spam messages
you receive. And that's the operative: *messages you receive*!

TB will still download the messages from the server but you won't
see (most of) them. I think there's currently no solution to
automatically delete spam on the server without downloading. You may
use the Message Dispatcher to look at the headers on the server and
then delete them manually. Or you can set up elaborate filters for
selective downloading.

From my experience it takes more time if you invoke the Dispatcher or
Selective Downloading than to download all mail and let the plug-in do
the dirty work.
