Description

[Travis Chase]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030725
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030725

I get bombarded by spam all the time, and sometimes when 50 or more spam messages
download from the server, especially after a few days of not checking mail. I have
noticed that the junk mail filter, misses messages it has previously sent to the
junk bin

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download lots of messages, after training your junk mail filter, and it will
miss some when checking high quantitys

Actual Results:  
usually about 5 or 6 known spam messages escape the filter, and have to be remarked

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not really care how many messages are new in the inbox

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
