1381596 - Mailboxes' Junk parameters for "Do not mark messages as junk if the sender is in:" don't automatically _include_ newly created address books

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170612122443

Steps to reproduce:

The personal Junk configuration for all my mailboxes is as follows:

- Excluded: "Collected addresses" (emails from addresses in this address book could be marked as junk).
- Included: all my other address books (these addresses will never be considered as junk).

What I did: create a new address book.


Actual results:

The new address book appeared in the Junk parameters, but is NOT selected by default (thus potentially subject to false junk detection).


Expected results:

I'd like new address books to be automatically selected to avoid their addresses to be potentially considered as junk.

Isn't it "common logic" to select/check/tick most of - if not all - our address books in the Junk parameters? Even users who have "spam" addresses (intended to receive spam "only") I guess, who don't especially "benefit" from unticking all address books... (should mom's email sent to the wrong address be considered as junk and disregarded? ^^)

So in my view, the value of this option should be inverted (rather _include_ a new address book by default). Otherwise (current situation), one has to tick the new address book manually as many times as mailboxes... (btw there are no "Select all" / "Select none" options there (or a single master checkbox) to quickly (de)select address books)

Thanks for reading my opinion :)

"Do not mark messages as junk if the sender is in:" was implemented by bug 18771. Amazingly, I it doesn't mention the idea suggested by this bug, nor do I find an earlier bug report on it.  I would welcome such a feature.
