User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070208 Mandriva/2.0.0.4-1mdv2007.1 (2007.1) Firefox/2.0.0.4 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.4 (20070620) I have an IMAP account on which I leave my email. I have an INBOX, and as I read and handle my emails, I file them into other folders on this server. This means, by the time an email message gets into any folder *except* the INBOX, I *know* it's not spam. Unfortunately, every time I open one of these archive folders to return to it, the Thunderbird junkmail filter runs, potentially tossing a bunch of good mails into the junk mail folder. I would very much like to turn this off (and I'm not the only one, I've seen notes about this in the MozillaZine filters), but as far as I can tell, the junkmail controls can only be enabled and disabled on an account-by-account basis --- there's no way to handle this case. Note that a folder-by-folder disable would be a very painful way to handle this, since I have hundreds of folders, and only want the filter on for one of them, so I'd suggest that this feature be implemented as either "on with exceptions" or "off with exceptions." I don't know if this could be handled by an extension. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
