Description Jens Bech Madsen 2004-07-06 10:42:29 UTC 
It would be useful to be able to specify in the account manager whether
junk filtering should happen for mail received for that account instead of
the all-or-nothing switch in Mail Options.

The account I use for my family receives no spam at all, so I would rather
not risk having a valid mail marked as junk and lose it.

Such a feature already exists!  But it is confusing and, I think, 
somewhat broken.

Jens, go to the Account Editor, Receiving Options page.  Here you will 
find account-specific settings.  It is not clear how these settings 
relate to the global settings, or if they even work.  I messed around 
with them a couple of weeks ago and suddenly *NO* spam filtering was 
occuring even though I had chosen to "Check new messages for junk 
contents" in the account settings for my main account.

I am going to close this bug and open another one to cover problems 
with Junk.  Please re-open if I have misunderstood your issue, but FYI 
it appears that the global setting MUST be on to allow any spam 
filtering to occur, and you can then select, on a per-account basis, 
which ones you want filtered.
