Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414

Have sent jusnk mail control to automatically move mail marked as junk to junk
mail folder on specified account.  The control window when closed and reopened
does not maintain the setting.  It reverts to blank. 

Worked fine for months and then this problem.   Run Mozilla 1.7.7  Previously
ran Mozill. 1.7.6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to junk mail controls and sit remove junk to specified junk mail folder.
2.  Close junk mail controls
3.  Open junk mail controls and setting is blank

Actual Results:  
Junk mail is not autormically moved.  Also not manually moved either.  


Expected Results:  
Mail marked as junk should be automatically moved to junk mail folder.  

I have 3 e-mail accounts.  All with their own junk mail folders.

One account only  retains the setting move mail to junk on local folder.
One account will not retain any entry for move junk mail.  
One account does not have junk mail control activated.

To all problem reporters:
  Is symptom described in Bug 312180 involved in your problem?
If YES, read Bug 312180 Comment #12, and check whether inconsistency exists or
not between mail.server.serverN.spamActionTargetFolder and
mail.server.serverN.hostname / mail.server.serverN.userName.
If same issue, see also Bug 327108(mail.identity.idX.fcc_folder case), and try
latest trunk nightly to which patch for Bug 327108 is already applied.

going to about:config, I get this:

mail.server.server3.hostname                mail.iinet.net.au
mail.server.server3.userName                [e-mail]
mail.server.server3.spamActionTargetAccount mailbox://[e-mail]

... i.e the @ in the username has been encoded to %40 in spamActionTargetAccount, and there is no mail.server.server3.spamActionTargetFolder, or realUserName or realHostName.



On the other hand, for my server 1, I get:
mail.server.server1.hostname                mail.mydomain.com
mail.server.server1.realhostname            mail.mydomain.com
mail.server.server1.userName                [e-mail]
mail.server.server1.realuserName            [e-mail]
mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetAccount mailbox://myname%40mydomain.com%2Fmail.mydomain.com@localhost
mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetFolder  mailbox://[e-mail]@mail.mydomain.com/Junk

Note the @localhost in spamActionTargetAccount, and the two @ symbols in spamActionTargetFolder.  Unfortunately, I have no idea if this is how it is supposed to be or not.

I can't install the nightly build of Thunderbird that was mentioned in there somewhere, as I am using Mozilla suite instead.  I'm planning to change to Thunderbird, but in a possibly related issue, my mailbox settings get all mixed up when I try to import my Mozilla settings to Thunderbird.

I am now using Thunderbird ver. 2.009 and in large measure the spam filter seems to be working.  But my service provider also screens for spam so I am not absolutely certain if it is Thunderbird's spam filter or the ISP spam filter.
