191289 - [junk] Old mail in IMAP inbox gets marked as junk (but not moved to junk folder)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 180857

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Pekka Nikander]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030122

I am using my IMAP inbox as a TODO list.  As a consequence, I have a number of
very old messages in the inbox, some of them over a year old.  

Each time I launch Mozilla, Mozilla marks all old messages in the inbox as junk.
Removing the junk setting helps for that session, but a relauch marks the messages
junk again.  This even happens with a clean profile but using my existing inbox
folder.  I am using cyrus IMAP.

I am not able to identify the exact age of messages which causes this to
happen, but it seems to be around three months; the newest messages that
get marked right now are from October last year.

What is strange is that the old messages get NOT moved to a junk folder
while new genuine junk messages do get moved there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use IMAP; have an inbox with some fairly old messages that you want to preserve
2. Launch Mozilla and MailNews
3. Watch Mozilla marking your old messages as junk.

Actual Results:  
Old messages are marked as junk

Expected Results:  
Nothing to the old messages.

possible dup of bug 180857 see comment #15.  This was fixed in the 1-28 build.
Please take a build after 1-28, then launch mail and mark the messaages as not
junk again.  Then exit and relaunch, they should now be Not Junk. Note, at this
time, we only move incoming new messages that are flagged as junk to the junk
folder if that option is set.  Messages that are manually marked as junk need to
be moved manually.

I tested with the 20030130(03) build, and this indeed seems to be fixed.
