User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Build Identifier: 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908) Junk mail filter marks messages as junk even if placed in a seperate folder manually or by filter. The only option as of this writing is to put every email address I don't want scanned into my personal or collected address books. This won't work. If I make my own folders and use filters to sort incoming email, obviously junkmail should not override my filter. Right now it does. There should be a way to limit what folders the junkmail filter is allowed to scan. It makes sense. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a unique folder 2.Create a filter to move incoming messages to your unique folder Actual Results: Observe as Junkmail adaptive filter will intermittently move already archived emails from unique folders to the Junk folder (solely becuase its not in the personal or collected address books) Expected Results: Junkmail controls should allow individual settings for inclusion or exclusion by a folder basis so one does not have to add every email address to a personal or collected address book just to prevent the adaptive filter from moving already catagorized emails. I would also like to mention that Junkmail controls should aslo allow you to exclude emails from filtering based on multiple address books, rather then one or the other (which is the way it is now for example, exclude filter by personal address book OR collected address book, but you can't exclude filter by both).

I haven an IMAP account with multiple folders in which I collected various mail over a longer period. Recently I added Thunderbird to my clients and wanted to try the spam filter. I trained it with some 100 ham and spam emails (yes, I collect spam), enabled the adaptive filter and decided to "Move incoming messages determined to be junk mail to junk folder". The word "incoming" made me believe that this affected only the "inbox" folder, however it actually affected all my folders. I don't like this, because these archives contain messages, which I decided already upon. The only thing TB could do about them is to generate false positives, which I might overlook among numerous real junk messages from the inbox. I agree with Aron's request. At least there should be a distinction between the inbox (unchecked mails) and the folders (mails already decided upon). Workaround: Add a header line "X-Keywords:" to all messages in all folders might convince TB to believe it had scanned the email already and prevent it from classifying it as junk.

I was just about to file a new bug on behalf of Christian when he found this one. Here is the UI I was going to suggest: Since other user might have filters to move e-mails to other IMAP folders, and want those e-mails to be checked for junk, this new feature should be a configurable (but unobtrusive) option. The UI could be similar to the "Subscribe" UI for IMAP and newsgroup accounts. The following suggestion would add only one button ("Folders") to the current UI: +--- Junk Mail Controls ---------------------------------------+ | | | Thunderbird has several ways to ... | | | | Configure Junk Settings for: [ <Account-Name> ] [Folders...] | | | ~ ~ +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Klicking on "Folders" yields: +-- Custom Folder Settings ------------------------------------+ | | | Custom Folder Settings for: [ <Account-Name> ] [Folders...] | | | | Select the folders that Thunderbird should check | | incoming messages for Junk mail: | |+------------------------------------------------------------+| || Inbox [x] || || Drafts [ ] || || Sent [ ] || || Templates [ ] || || Trash [ ] || || Personal [x] || || Computers [x] || || Ham Box [ ] || |+------------------------------------------------------------+| | Select: [All] [None] [Subscribed] | | | | [[ OK ]] [ Cancel ] | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ The account initially shown after "Custom Folder Settings for:" should the the one that was displayed in the previous dialog. This enables the user to customize the folders for all accounts in one go, without requiring them to go back and forth between the two dialogs, and without having to thouch this setting ("Custom Folder Settings for:") if they only want change the settings for the account displayed in the previous dialog. For IMAP accounts, clicking on "Subscribed" selects (only) the folders that are currently selected under "File / Subscribe". The tooltip for this button should say "Selects the folders that you have subscribed to." For POP accounts, the "Subscribed" button would not be visible.

Comment 3 is actually better duped to bug 189970.
