277926 - Use Melnikov's IMAP keywords/labels for marking junk on the server ($Junk, $NotJunk, $AutoJunk, $AutoNotJunk)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Roland Stuehmer]

He proposes two different sets of labels for user-marked junk and machine-marked
junk and also his labels start with a '$' dollar sign which is supposedly more
standards compliant (label namespace issues).

RESULT:
Mozilla /reads/ "NonJunk", "NotJunk", "Junk"...
...and /sets/ "NonJunk" and "Junk"

EXPECTED RESULT:
Mozilla should honor Melnikov's labels for training/displaying junk and - even
better set them itself also.

Labels:
$Junk - user-marked as junk
$AutoJunk - machine-marked as junk
$NotJunk - user-marked as NOT junk
$AutoNotJunk - machine-marked as NOT junk

Combination of labels:
$NotJunk and $AutoJunk - the automated system made a false-POSITIVE
$Junk and $AutoNotJunk - the automated system made a false-negative

Regards,

Roland.

consider using draft-melnikov-imap-keywords as start point, this draft currently expired but it well written and fits our case to solve problem.

Careful reading draft reveal there no more propose to use keywords $Junk, $NotJunk, $AutoJunk, $AutoNotJunk, this was in version 3 document. So I doubt this should open anymore. 
Doc is completely rewritten and only propose now $MDNSent, $Forwarded, $SubmitPending, $Submitted keywords.

Yeah, "use the junk keywords in a draft which sat on the shelf for four years, then came back to life in a version which doesn't mention the word 'junk' anywhere" doesn't seem like it needs to be open.
