243985 - Would like the ability to report mail message as spam to my Internet provider

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112315

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040515

I noticed that I could report an email message as spam back to my Internet
provider (POP3 account) if I login to my email account using IE and clicking on
the button "Report as SPAM".  This would be a great feature if it was added to
the Mozilla email client.

I currently use the Mozilla Mail client and I have the Junk email control
enabled and get at least 20 SPAM messages/day.

I think it would make sense letting the provider perform filtering before the
email messages are delivered to my account.

NOTE: This new feature request is to keep the current Junk email control logic
and add the abilty to report the message back to the provider as SPAM.

What do you mean by "login to my email account using IE"? Does your account have
a webmail interface? (like Yahoo!, for example)

Anyway, I think first the server should support a function like "report as
SPAM". Then an interface for that could be implemented in Mozilla. I doubt any
server (POP3 or IMAP) has such a function right now.

Attachment: Snapshot marking email message as SPAM using Internet Explorer

I guess the answer is Yes (I have no experience using Yahoo).  I login to my
email account via Internet Explorer.  I attached a snapshot so you can see my
suggestion.

IMO a dupe of Bug 112315.
