Hi!

I have the problem that junk mail filtering does not move or mark spam with
empty subject to the junk folder. Instead junk mail notifies me that the junk
folder is not found and the message is marked as read. The problem seems to
exist since version 1.6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for spam mail with empty subject... (I got a lot of spam :-( )
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message: "Junk mail folder not found."
Mail marked as read

Expected Results:  
Mark the message as spam and move it to the junk mail folder.

Sorry - I forgot: When marking the above mentioned spam mail manually as junk it
is correctly moved to the junk folder without problems.

Christoph, I currently have more than a dozen Junk Mails in my Junk folder, all
of them moved there automatically and I cannot remember any empt-subject spam I
had to move there by hand (and I get loads of spam, this is only spam received
during the last 3 days!).
So maybe there's something special to your messages or the problem is fixed in
1.7b (which I have) or those messages are just not recognized as spam.

If you want, I can send you test message full of spam keywords but with empty
subject, to see if it is really not working.
