280278 - With "Fetch headers only" option on, junk mail headers fetch again and again

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Dmitry Grigoriev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 (russian build, downloaded from mozilla.ru)

// Sorry, i use russian build of TB 1.0, but i think this bug is independent of
localization.

I use default profile, which was created during TB installation (Local Folders
not used). In the beginning, i teached Junk Mail Filters, then turned on "Move
mail identified as junk to Junk folder under my account" (sorry, i don't
remember how this option was exactly named in English). All was ok. 

But after turning on "Fetch headers only" option, headers are fetched again and
again for messages, which were moved automatically to Junk folder upon receiving
message headers. Even after i manually delete them from Junk folder, they're not
deleted from server and keep arriving. To make them (at last) disappear, i need
to download junk bodies :((, or turn off automatic junk mail filtering (which i
preferred). 

Other mail works well, including which is automatically filtered by my custom
filters, for which i fetch bodies, or delete without fetching.

// Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but in this case it is usability (or
documentation) problem.

// Behavior of mail manually marked as Junk, not tested.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on "Move messages identified as Junk mail - to Junk folder"
2. Turn on "Fetch headers only"
3. Upon receiving mail which was automatically moved to Junk, check new mail again.
4. You may even delete received junk mail from Junk folder, without dowloading
its body, and then check new mail again.
Actual Results:  
You'll receive the same junk mail again.

Expected Results:  
First, TB must recognize already downloaded mail even it is in Junk folder.
Second, TB shold delete from server messages that i delete from Junk folder,
just as it does (i guess) with any other mail.
