215011 - Junk mail filter does not work if set to move junk to trash and no junk folder present.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Werner L. Stunkel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030718
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030718

If junk mail filter is enabled and the option "Move junk mail to <user selected
folder>" is selected (in my case trash), MAIL complains the "Junk" folder is
missing and disables junk mail controls. This was discovered when I changed the
junk mail destination to trashand removed the Junk folder because the "delete
junk mail after <n> days function did not work"; perhaps because my system date
format is dd-mm-yyyy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Ref: Details

Expected Results:  
Junk mail should move to specified destination, irrespective of presence/absence
of junk folder (as long as junk folder is not the destination).
