285471 - Junk mail filter selects non-junk in the next folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 223591

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jord van der Elst]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050303

When I get junk mail in (very little due to good filters at my ISP), I usually
use the Mark as Junk option on it. That automatically removes the mail I marked
as junk to the Junk folder. 

But when I go to a next folder where my email filters have put the other emails
coming in, the Junk mail filter automatically selects one of the new emails and
marks it as Junk, moving it to the Junk mail folder. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Mark email as junk.
See it being moved off to the Junk folder
Go to a seperate filter folder that got email and see how one or more emails are
marked Junk and being deleted. 



I must say, I only noticed this behaviour since the 1.8 beta versions of Mozilla
Suite. The alpha versions before this behaved normally. And it doesn't do it all
the time either. 

Or maybe it has been doing it all the time and I just wondered where someone's
email went to. ;)

I first thought it was a version of this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209748 but for that it happens in
other folders, not the same main folder that my emails come into. (does that
make sense?)

(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

I've tested it with Seamonkey 1.0 Alpha and I still see this behaviour. Email
comes in, it takes out the junk mail it has learned about, but as soon as I look
in a folder I filter mail to, one or more of the emails there get filtered as
junk as well.

Messages that are filtered to folders do not get processed by the junk 
controls until the target folder is opened.  This behavior is unrelated to whether junk in the Inbox was detected (or marked as junk manually).  
This problem is bug 223591.  If this is the problem you're describing, please mark this bug as a dupe of that one.
