I often heard story like this... the fact is that this "i never marked it as spam" is always from a non-techie person.. - Sometimes they lie, because they didn't know you spy on their "junking habits", so they simply deny when you ask why they did something they didn't know you could "monitor". - Sometimes they don't even know what is the spam button (some of them think it is like trash, some of them don't know at all). - Sometimes they happen to click on stuff without really recognizing they did. We run a SaaS and very often our users say they never did something until we dig in the logs and have evidence they really did that, so my first think is always "everybody lies" (sometimes they are not really aware they are lying, they simply never read/tried to understood and thought that "permanently delete" means "hide this for a while"). It is possible there is a bug in the platform, but I still have to get similar reports from a trusted source or see the behaviour with my eyes. So, I think you should take this at least as an option (and use Occam's razor). > So it's not bulk moving emails to junk using imap.

I don't see anything weird from that. People can mark as spam any email, even if the email has been received a lot of time ago. He told that he searched the email, maybe they also marked it as spam: this kind of action could have the legitimate result to send an FBL for an old message. It sound like an expected distribution: 0.1% per month (1% in 10 months) 2 years ago 0.4% per month (4% in 10 months) 1 year ago 2.5% per month (5% in 2 months) 3 months ago 90% per month (90% in 1 the last month). If you do open-tracking you can see similar distributions with messages being opened even after many years. If they are opened after years there's nothing weird to see they are sometimes also marked as spam after years.
