There are two things to do:

   - remove the junk/spam flag, if it exists (I don't know how it is
     stored)
   - move the mail to the inbox folder.


Thunderbird can do this; but whether the server learns and retrains the 
bayes database, it is a different question (depends on each server). The 
only method to be reasonably sure is to use the web interface.
