213326 - Receiving Junk Mail triggers Mail Notification: It shouldn't

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 189289

when moz mailnews receives a new email, it first notifies the user that s/he has
new mail, then checks for junk status and acts accordingly.  This turn of events
is incorrectly ordered.  The system should first check for junk status. Those
messages marked junk _should_NOT_ trigger new mail notification events.  

This is a more specific example of a more general feature request.  Mail
notification should be able to be made conditional.  So, mail that gets hit by
certain user-set filters should be allowed to set no new notification (this
might best be done as an extension of the filter capabilities).  

Furthermore, separate icons/sounds should be able to be set for different
accounts/filters.

This is broadly speaking a single issue, though I guess it could be split into
several bug filings.  I will file issues separately if it is thought wise.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Mail Notification
2. Receive Junk Mail (if you don't have this problem, sign up for hotmail/yahoo
account, use a hotmail/yahoo POP3 proxy program to get mozilla to check that mail)

Actual Results:  
3. Watch Mail notification icon popup for every porn, viagra, vacation, etc. ads
that you receive when you could care less.

Expected Results:  
Mail marked as junk should not trigger any alert to the user.
