Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

The Junk Mail Controls settings dialog under the Logging section says "View and
configure junk mail logging", and has a button labeled "Junk Mail Log". Clicking
the button gives the options to enable junk mail logging, or clear the log.
However, nowhere is there an option to view the log or a link to where it might
be. A "View Log" option should be available, as promised by the "View and
configure" label.

Reproducible: Always

there's a big white text box in that dialog where the log information is displayed.

I have the "Enable the junk mail log" checkbox checked for weeks, and alot of
junkmail activity as well, but no log is displayed (no visible textbox
anywhere). Either there's a bug in the display, or the logging isn't taking
place (even though it should) and an empty log causes nothing to be displayed in
the dialog - I can't tell which of the two is the case by the symptom.

Where else can I find the log (i.e. file) to check if it's just a display
problem or there's actually no log to display?

STR - 
1. Go to Tools->Junk Mail Controls and enable junk mail logging
2. Mark some mail as junk
3. Go to back to Tools->Junk Mail Controls, click to view the junk mail log

Observe that the log is empty. 

Confirming on 20050711 mac trunk.

Even if the Junk button is pushed with the manual, the size of the log file is 0.

Attachment: empty junk mail log window

Using version 1.5.0.4 (20060530) on a Mac, the junk mail log (under ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/foo.default/ImapMail/server has non-zero size corresponding to the adaptive filters finding some spam, but the sheet where one would see the log is empty.

Hanspeter, Hiro, do you still see this problem?

Comment 9

[Hanspeter Niederstrasser]

I've upgraded to TB2 on my Mac, and for the life of me I can't find the Junk Mail log window in this version.  Does that still exist?  In Tools > Message Filters..., each account has a Filter Log, but no Junk Mail log.

junklog.html in my profile is non-zero and was last touched in May 2007, which corresponds to my upgrade to TB2, so is it no longer being used?
