220798 - "Automatically delete junk messages older than" does not work.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 195047

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Eric Towers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

In Junk Mail Controls, I have enabled "Automatically delete junk messages older
than " 35 " days from this folder" to toss old spam.  However, this does not
appear to automatically happen.  Old spam is deleted only after selecting the
menu item Tools|Run Junk Mail Controls on Folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Junk Mail Controls, enable "Automatically delete junk messages older than
" x " days from this folder", where x is a small number, say "1".
2. Perform various actions (including exiting and restarting the mail client),
receiving mail, marking mail as spam, deleting mail, et c.
3. 

Actual Results:  
There was still old spam in the Junk folder; none of it had been automatically
deleted.

Expected Results:  
Occasionally automatically delete old spam.  Alternatively, drop the
"Automatically" from the dialog.
