323705 - Junk mail doesn't get detected until after folder is opened

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223591

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Bur]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I have an account with several folders, each folder has its own filter rule applied to, sorting the matching mails to the corresponding folder while all others remain in the main inbox.

The problem is, when a new junk mail arrives that matches one of the filter rules and it gets moved to the specified folder, TB announces a new eMail like it wasn't junk. Only after I open the folder the junk was moved to (and by that time of course I don't know yet it's junk), it gets marked by TB as junk and is moved to the junk folder.

This is quite annoying as 90% of my mails get sorted to folders thus remaining undetected by the junk filter until I open the folder, rendering the junk filter rather useless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a folder and a filter rule that moves mail to it
2.Send a spam mail that matches the filter rule to yourself

Actual Results:  
TB will not mark this mail as junk until you open the folder it was moved to

Expected Results:  
Mark the mail as junk, move it to the junk folder and _not_ notify me a new mail has arrived

This was confirmed by several others in the german TB forum. Please let me know if this happens for many other, too as I think in that case 'major severity' would be justified.
