Mozilla 1.3:
Incoming spam-mail does not seem to be marked as spam even if I have hundreds of 
mails in my junk-folder beeing marked as spam.
It seems, that junk-filter does not "learn".
But training.dat grows with each marked spam-mail.
Re-running junk mail controls on already spam-marked mail unmarks it again.

Mozilla-profile has been converted from an old Netscape 4.71 profile at mozilla
installation/first run.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mozilla 1.3
2. Convert old Netscape 4.71 profile with mail to mozilla profile
3. Start MailNews
4. Mark spam as junk
5. Get new spam

Actual Results:  
New spam not marked as spam

Expected Results:  
New spam marked as spam

JunkControls is set to automatical move junk to junk-folder. Logging is
activated but no logs seem to appear.

Have you explicitly marked at least one message as non-junk?  (See bug 194238
for details.)  If that works, please comment here or resolve the bug appropriately.

Maybe it's a dupe of bug 194238.  

194238 was opened 2-20-2003
It got fixed 3-15
You're build is Mozilla 1.3 03-12-2003

Ok, marking non-spam as non-spam explicitely worked.

But all messages had non-spam-mark... 
Wasn't there an "?"-mark somewhere in the past when mails weren't classified yet?

Has this "?"-status been removed or became obsolete?
