Consistent Junk mail treating across IMAP clients
Last modified: 2012-06-16 21:46:53 UTC
Junk mail appear in the IMAP folder it originate with another client. That is confusing when one use Evolution on one machine and another IMAP client like Thunderbird on another machine. On Thunderbird, the mail marked as junk by Evolution is not treated as Junk. But Thunderbird, when marking junk mail, use the IMAP \Junk flag. I think both client should share this choice as this make sense.
there is no IMAP \Junk flag.
Its a persistent flag and it would be quite useful if client vendors could agree on it. The flag is "Junk" (and "NotJunk"), not "\Junk". Cyrus: ---snip--- 2 select "INBOX" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen NotJunk Junk $Forwarded NonJunk $Label3 $Label1 $Label2 $Label4 $Label5 Forwarded JunkRecorded $MDNSent $NotJunk $Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen NotJunk Junk $Forwarded NonJunk $Label3 $Label1 $Label2 $Label4 $Label5 Forwarded JunkRecorded $MDNSent $NotJunk $Junk \*)] ---snap---
No idea if this is still an issue in 3.4... Updates welcome.
