User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If you have your junk mail stored on an IMAP server, when the mail is moved to
the junk folder the junk status is cleared.  THis results in the automatic
deletion not working. I have my junk folder on the IMAP server becuase I use
multiple PCs to access my mail and sometimes need to retrieve messages from the
junk folder that got moved there automatically but really were not junk.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  create an account whose junk mail goes to a folder on an IMAP server
2.  set the junk folder for automatic message deletion after 1 day.
2.   mark a message as junk


Actual Results:  
The message is in the junk folder but does not have the junk status set.  The
message will stay in the junk folder indefinitely.

Expected Results:  
Moved the message tot he junk folder retaining it's junk status and deleted the
message after one day in the junk folder.
