296747 - Disable junk detection on IMAP by default

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[hansen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0+ (Windows/20050602)

Thunderbird shouldn't activate adaptive junk mail detection for IMAP accounts by
default.

I've run into several posts in the forum, who thought it was a bug, that
Thunderbird downloaded the whole message once and then every attachment you
would like to save.

Otherwise give the user some information at account creation.

This bug has nothing to do with the "Thunderbird doesn't cache attachments".

Reproducible: Always

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Sorry, I have to reopen this.

Some users are complaining about the speed of IMAP - this would help. These are
the non-technical modem/DSL users.

You might want to consider putting a checkbox at account creation, like POP3's
"Download messages now".

If anything, this is an enhancement, not a bug.

How does disabling junk detection help with the speed of IMAP?

[David :Bienvenu]

with junk mail filter turned on, we download the message bodies of new imap messages that we check for junk. That can be slow if you have a lot of new imap messages, and don't use address book whitelisting.

hansen, do you still see this as  a perf issue if you use current trunk?

Haven't used Thunderbirds junk filter at work. They're sometimes on slow connections, so I've optimized the configs. And running server-side filters.

At home I'm connected via LAN to my server, so can't say I notice anything.

Is there some change to the way IMAP messages are being downloaded? As far as I can tell, Thunderbird still has some issues with IMAP attachment.
Following a lot of bugs in this area and seeing all the progress.

How can I test this? I think I need to test it at work on the slow lines...
Always using nightly trunk on my stations :)

Marking this WONTFIX, since we're downloading mails by default with Gloda.
