293564 - Spam tagged by filter not moved to junk mail folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 323257

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric Jain]

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

I have set up Thunderbird to move messages that it considers to be spam into the
spam folder. This works fine. I also added a filter rule that marks messages
with a certain header as spam. This works, too, except that these messages
remain in the inbox. I could extend the filter rule to move the messages after
tagging them, but shouldn't this happen automatically?

Reproducible: Always

Why is this still unconfirmed and minor severity?  This bug is the number one
reason I may need to switch back to Outlook!  I'd hate to do that :)

This is extremely important because I want the adaptive spam filter to learn
from filtered mail that I know must be spam.

As a bug submitter already said, there's an easy workaround (and this is by
definition a minor priority bug) - just add another action to the filter rule
that marks mail as spam, 2 seconds of work...
