When JMC automatically deletes previously marked junk mail the training from
those mails seems to be lost as same or similar spam is no longer recognised.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Train junk mail over time.
2.set junk mail to be deleted after several days
3.junk training seems to be lost after emails are deleted automatically as jmc
now fails to recognise same or similar spam.
4.checking training.dat file confirms that data is being lost as the file
increases and decreases in size with mails being deleted both manually and
automatically by jmc

Almost the same as bug 198830

I seem to have found the cause of this bug.
I have JMC set to send junk mail from all four of my pop accounts to just one
junk mail folder located in my most used account.
Creating a separate junk mail folder for each account seems to have solved my
problem.
Interesting - but it is still something that shouldn't happen when sending to
just one folder.
Also interesting that I seem to be the only one seeing this bug.

I think I'm experiencing this as well.  I have two pop accounts with the
spam from both being sent to a single folder in the first account.

This is probably the same (code-wise) as bug 198830, and therefore should be a
dupe!?
