Junk detection cannot be limited to selected folders; it is either on or off. As
a result, opening old mail folders which haven't been subject to training marks
hundreds of ham mails as spam and makes a mess of everything. Thus, it would be
a Very Good Thing to have an option "limit junk controls to inbox only". In fact
this should be the default behaviour. After all, all mail has to pass the inbox
before getting to any other folder, so there is no point (re-)filtering on other
folders. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable junk mail controls.
2. Open an old folder with several thousand archived mails.
3. See half your archive move to Junk or get deleted.
