306446 - No way to reclassify messages in "junk" folder as "not junk"

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Thomas Boutell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I set up the junk filtering features, I'm able to classify messages in my
inbox as "junk." Messages that are sniffed out as junk then begin appearing in
the "junk" folder. This is fine. However, when I look in the "junk" folder and
select a message that I recognize is NOT spam, I still see the "junk" button in
the toolbar. 

Thunderbird should know what the junk folder is and provide the ability to
un-junk messages found there.

I notice that I can click "Junk" (redundantly classifying the message as
junk...) and then the "Not Junk" button appears. I'm experimenting and don't
know yet whether this actually has the right effect on the classifiction of
future messages. But it's not a friendly UI for un-junking things that
Thunderbird should already know are classified as junk.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on adaptive junk filtering with default settings
2. Use the junk button to classify a message as junk
3. Go to junk folder
4. Select the junked message
5. Notice that "junk" button appears, where "not junk" ought to appear
Actual Results:  
"Junk" appears even though the message is already in the "junk" folder

Expected Results:  
"Not Junk" should appear. Also, un-junking the message should move it back to
the inbox, at least optionally.

Hmm, I now see that messages do show up as "JUNK" with a "NOT JUNK" button
available if the classifier currently thinks they are junk. Sometimes I have
things in my junk folder that the classifier doesn't currently believe to be
junk, perhaps? Not sure, yet, so I'll stop calling this a bug. Thanks.
