Kmail arrives in my trash. No filters installed.

I unchecked all filters.  I never set them in the first place, but those that 
were checked, I unchecked.

I had spam and ham icons on the main toolbar, but something I did made them go 
away.  I am not sure what it was.  Do you know how to get them back?  I would 
like to highlight an entry that is spam and click the spam icon or correct an 
item that is mis-identified.  The choices do not seem to be in the offering 
anymore for the main toolbar.

I right-clicked on the subject line and added the sender, date, and spam/ham.  
Apparently I have to check them to make them ham.  This seems backward, 
because that would be the reason the messages automatically go to trash.  If 
they showed as ham and had to be checked to be spam, then they would show in 
the incoming messages and only be conveyed to trash when checked.  Am I 
misunderstanding something here?

Apparently that is the way they come in.  When I move messages from trash to 
the inbox, I have to check on every wanted message to make it ham.  Otherwise 
it has been designated as spam.

I may have done this backwards.  I selected all the emails in trash, then 
selected move to and chose inbox.  After including the Spam/Ham column, in the 
Subject line, I noticed that all messages were considered spam.  I checked 
each of them, so that the program would learn, but it is obvious that for some 
reason they are received as spam when no filters are engaged.

I am not sure if it helps, I am pretty confused still.  If you understand my 
responses, please give further instruction.
