User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

The junk mail controls fail to mark anything as junk, even after being trained.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable junk mail controls
2. Set it to redirect all junk to Trash
3. Receive mail.

Actual Results:  
Nothing's marked as junk.

Expected Results:  
The junk should be marked as junk.

I'm using an RPM version. I used the same RPM version earlier, and it worked.
Perhaps it's been updated.

I should mention that Mozilla Mail didn't create a Junk folder either. It has a
Junk toolbar button, but no Junk FOLDER. It's really weird.

Comment 2

[Dave Oftedal]

Ah. I managed to create a Junk mail folder.

I had to change my options from "Move to Trash" to "Move to Junk". This might be
the bug. After the Junk folder has been created, one chan change back again, but
I don't know if I'll be able to train the controls with "Move to Trash" enabled.

We shall see.

I'm running Moz1.3 on WinXP with junk controls enabled. Unfortunately no
messages have been marked as junk so far, whereas the classifier should have had
enough training by now (training.dat takes 84 Kb).

Running Mozilla 1.3 on Linux, same problem,
no mail is marked as junk.
Junk mail filtering is not working for me.

I have the same problem on two of my three machines.
Two of them never mark any incoming mail as junk.
One is running Windows XP SP1, the other is running Solaris 8.

I forget to mention, the one that is working is also running Windows XP Pro SP1.
All three installations have been 'well trained', and mail client only runs on
one   of the machines at a time, using the same junk mail control settings as
the others, and similar mail account settings. All are running mozilla 1.3

[David Kahn]

I tried some of the remedies described in 193084
I copied over training.dat from the Win XP Pro box where the
controls are working to my Solaris 8/Sparc box and it
seems to be working there now. (exit mozilla, copy
training.dat into my profile dir, restart mozilla)

I don't think this bug is architecture or OS specific.
bugzilla won't let me change the hardware or OS field
to "all", but it should be changed, at least IMHO.

All of a sudden, the spam filtering started to work for me!
I tried no work-around, just kept on manually classifying.
Now my training is bigger:

Has anyone seen this with a trunk build dated 20030324 or newer? In these
builds, bug 194238 was fixed.
