470114 - Junk Button should move even if adaptive filter is off

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 487610

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[Trever Adams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111217 Fedora/3.0.4-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: user_pref("mail.toolbars.showbutton.junk", false)

Marking things as junk or not junk should move things even if the adaptive filter is off. This will allow integration with things like Dovecot-Antispam. No reason to have the adaptive filter on if a server solution is being used.

However, having the buttons move items is very helpful with the adaptive filter off.

Reproducible: Always

This still does not work in T3.0B4 without Adaptive Junk mail controls turned on.

Especially for Gmail accounts, the need for adaptive junk controls is more or less pointless as it will never be as good as Google's own internal versions.

All that is needed is to instantly move junk to the google junk folder when the junk button is pressed.

(And when when setting up a gmail account it should automatically select the Google spam folder as the junk destination, which it does not always do).

Same as Bug 487610?

Comment 3

[John Andersen]

Similar to Bug 487610, but this bug pre-dates it, and is much more focused.  
The patch proposed in that bug may be sufficient for this bug as well

Is the second part of my comment above suitable for an enhancement request?

To wit:  When setting up Gmail IMAP account, automatically select the gmail spam folder as the junk destination.  To my knowledge Gmail is the only mail system with a well defined and functional spam folder/tag that is universally named.

Possibly a dupe of bug 487610.
