With junk mail controls turned on, all messages get downloaded when a connection
to the mail server is established. Then, when going offline, the messages are
downloaded again for offline use, even though they were all already downloaded
once. As a result, using junk mail controls together with offline does not work
very well (also, the limit for the size of downloaded messages is ignored by
junk mail controls, which sucks when working over slow line, because limit or no
limit, everything gets downloaded anyway). It would be great if a message
remained available for offline use the first time it is downloaded if the folder
is marked so, even if the download is for the junk mail control purposes only.

I believe this actually works. First of all, do you have Address book
whitelisting turned on in the junk mail controls? If you do, most non-junk
messages won't get downloaded at all by the junk mail controls, so thus they
will be downloaded when you go offline.

Also, do you have mail filters that move messages to other imap folders, and
then have those folders configured for offline use, or are you strictly talking
about the INBOX?

Can you generate an imap log showing this behaviour and attach it or e-mail it
to me privately? thx.
