242972 - Mail notification fires even if junk mail filter tags and deletes the message(s)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233930

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[John Mills]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Thunderbird 0.6 (20040502) displays the pop-up notification and shows the new
mail icon in the system tray even if the message(s) are recognised as junk and
deleted.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set junk mail controls to 'on' and train for a while
2. Set junk mail controls to move (junk) to 'other' = trash on imap
3. Turn on mail notification with 'check mailbox every 10 mins'
4. Wait for spam to arrive

Actual Results:  
1. Observe notification pop up appear
2. See 'new mail' disappear as the junk mail control deletes it.
3. Tray icon shows new mail goes away


Expected Results:  
One of two things would be better.
1. Don't notify me at all if the mail is junk
2. With notification turned off, allow me to create a filter with the rules
'sender is in my address book' AND 'sender is NOT (my address)' with the action
'notify me'.  This does not need to show the pop-up, since I can see problems
with multiple incoming messages causing the pop-up to start yo-yo-ing.  Instead,
just toggle the tray icon ON until all mail is read OR I click on the tray icon.
