Mozilla mailer should not download potential junk mail, but should leave it on
the server.

The user should view in junk mail folder all the potential junk mails, and
select which one should become ``not junk''.

The control, as it does now, should delete from the server all the junk mails
after a selected number of days.

Reproducible: Always

This is impossible. Mozilla needs to download the mails in order to analyse
them. So it can't decide whether a mail is junk or not without downloading it.

Marking WONTFIX.

Now hang on a minute. If this imap download all message bodies thing is due to
the junkmail feature then please add a option to turn off junk mail controls. If
I already have a junkmail filter that sorts things already on the server, I
don't need my email client doing it too. So this is still a bug considering that
imap gives you the choice of only getting the headers and not the body of the
message.
