This sure is a very sparse bug description ;-), so I'll chime in and describe the issue.
i) I'm using Gmail, which does its own classifying on the server-side.
ii) I do have mail.imap.whatever.check_all_folders_for_new_messages (I can never remember the name of that pref).
iii) When a message arrives in the junk folder, because of ii), autosync (?) picks it up, and we go through the new mail notification code.
iv) New libnotify mail alert is shown for a junk message.

IMHO that shouldn't happen. (Hope that's clear enough!)

Aureliano, this issue is about server-filtered mail that goes directly into the Junk folder, not mails that first arrive in the Inbox and then are classified by Thunderbird into the junk folder as bug 272125 is about. Are you positive we can merge the two issues?

Ciao :protz ;-)

> Are you positive we can merge the two issues?

Yes, I'm inclined to consider dupe because the underlying problem is the same...

Anyway feel free to reopen it if you don't agree.

I tend to think this is two separate issues, but I'll let mconley decide since he's the expert now =)

Just read through bug 272125, and it sounds like this is a duplicate.  Let's keep this one closed.

Thanks all!
