282920 - Junk mail is not deleted automatically with Global Inbox

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Leo72]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

On Thunderbird 1.0 I set up a Global Inbox folder to collect all messages from
my e-mail accounts.
I then set up Junk controls to move junk messages directly to Global Junk folder
and then I checked the control to automatically remove from Global Junk folder
all the messages older than 7 days. But Thunderbird doesn't run this operation
anytime.
It runs the operation only on single inbox folders (I have a single inbox folder
to collect messages from a specific mail account that don't go in the Global
Inbox folder).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Global inbox folder

2. Set up the Junk mail controls to move junk mails directly to Global Junk
folder and check the control to remove junk mails from this folder after a
specific number of days
3. Download mail for that number of days + 1
4. Check in the Global Junk mail that Thunderbird didn't remove messages older
than the specified number od days

Actual Results:  
I'll find all the junk messages, even if they are older than the number of days
specified in the Junk mail control

I got the same behaviour with the WinXP version 1.0 of Thunderbird.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
