Junk mail controls are not working when using imap mail. You can flag messages
as junk, however running the control on selected message will do nothing except
unflag it as junk, regardless of what rule you have set to handle junk mail.

Reproducible: Always

I have the same problem using Mac OS 10.2.3 with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC
Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

Having used the junk mail learning with 1.3a, I was excited to see that the move
to the junk folder was now enabled. Unfortunately, "Run Junk Mail Controls on
Selected" now unmarks messages previously marked as junk. Since it doesn't seem
to be learning to identify junk mail, I don't know whether the move to the
"junk" folder feature works.

BTW, the special folder called "Junk" was created.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

I can confirm that the Junk Mail feature is not working, ever, on 
my IMAP mail.  I have a folder of 200+ Spam Messages.  I marked them 
all as Junk.  When I try and run the junk controls on those messages,
they are all unmarked as junk.  Not a single one is flagged.  Also,
no new Mail is ever flagged as Junk.
Flags: blocking1.3-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

So, I'm really starting to have 
"Junk Mail Control" envy of all those
people with active Junk Mail controls.

As a first attempt to get it working with IMAP, 
I  shut down Mozilla, deleted my training.dat,
went back into my junk folder, and marked my
now 400+ messages as junk.  It took about
two minutes to download and scan them all.

I shut down mozilla and I now have a 210,318 byte
training.dat file.

I restarted Mozilla, and ran the Junk Mail controls
over all the messages in the Junk Folder.  They were
all Unmarked as Junk.

Next step is to try one of the nightly builds.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030225

Well, no go with 20030225.  I just ran the Junk Mail controls 
against my Junk Folder with 20030225 and it also did not work.
All messages are marked as "Not Junk".

I'm wondering if this is an issue with our IMAP server?

Anybody else having this problem?


This bug appears to be a dup of 193084
My junk filters work with IMAP.
Have you marked any mail as not junk?  See bug # 188232 - if you only train the
filters on junk, they don't seem to work.
My Problem Resolved.  IMAP works just fine.  I just needed to mark something
"Not Junk" that wasn't marked as junk and it started working.  I'm glad there is
a bug filed against that. :-)

g.
reporter (solarisjedi), have you flaged non-junk messages as "Not Junk"? before
junk filter start to work, you have to show it both positives and negatives first
Works fine for me in both 1.3 and 1.4 . I'm using MDaemon for my IMAP server
(*ick*) but am looking at moving.
Also works fine for me with the Cyrus IMAPd server using Mozilla1.4/Linux .
