Junk mail controls

Hi
When I receive mails, some mails are marked junk but they are not
automatically move to Junk mail folder, I have to click on Inbox and
then they are moved to junk folder. Is there a way with "about:config"
or something similar to avoid this ?

Thanks.

 

Don't know Linux equivalent, but on Windows it's:
Tools|Junk Mail Controls|Settings|Handling (middle of display)|Move
Incoming ....

 

Thanks but this is part of my problem. Suppose that I'm reading
alt.fan.mozilla and I receive some spam, my Inbox folder will become
bold (That means that I new mail). I don't want to be noticed when it's
spam, I want it to do directly to Junk Folder.

The way it works now, When I click on Inbox, the spam goes automatically
to Junk Folder, but I dont want to click on Inbox to activate the junk
mail moving process. I dont want my inbox to become bold when it's spam.

I hope this is clear

Thanks .

 

Almost no way around that. Except to disable the mail alert entirely.
(hmm, not even sure if that is possible)

You see, the mail alert (such as it is) is activated when the mail comes
in, prior to the Junk Mail Control filtering it, which then should
automatically move it to the Junk folder (not when you click on the inbox).

The alert or green arrow is applied because that account did get mail.
If the Junk Mail (or any other filter for that matter) later moves the
mail, then the folder it went to is highlighted, but the original
account retains its received mark until you access the account.

for example, I have a filter that moves specific incoming mail to
another folder. As luck may have it, about the only mail that account
gets is that mail. So often I see the account with its arrow and know
that a folder in my local folders has the actual messages.

Since JMC marking of a message is not absolute, upgrading it to kill
mail alerts is contra indicated in most cases.


The green arrow indicates the account that has mail, if it is later
moved by a filter (even the JMC) it still received mail. You dont have
to check it immediately in any case, you can simply leave it be, the
account can still receieve further mail.

 

It's a known bug. Try Mozilla 1.5. It should have been solved.
