I'm using thunderbird for years, under both winsucks and linux no such 
problem ever occured.
Thunderbird has it's own special antispam engine, it get's trained by 
the messages you mark as spam. Tools/Junk Mail Controls is the 
settings area for this feature.

Maybe a certain email was marked as spam and you didn't change it's 
status to "normal mail" so the engined thinks all such email is spam.
Try reseting the Adaptive Filter / Training Data
