Junk Folder
I've noticed that the "Junk" folder does not populate until I click on it. Why would any folder do that? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Note on Junk folder aging
As you know, the Junk folder has a feature where the user can specify that messages older than nn days are automatically deleted (actually, moved to Trash). Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings | Junk Settings [x] Automatically delete junk mail older than nn days It turns out that his wording is easily misunderstood. The phrase "junk mail" does not mean "messages in the Junk folder"; it means "messages tagged as Junk." The Junk folder can receive messages in three ways: 1) When a message is tagged as Junk, SM automatically moves it to the Junk folder if the user has set this preference: Edit | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups | Junk & Suspect Mail When I mark messages as junk (•) Move them to the account's "Junk" folder 2) When a message is moved to the Junk folder by a user-defined filter 3) When the user manually moves a message to the Junk folder. Most users probably assume that any message that lands in Junk is equally subject to the same aging policy. It turns out that only messages tagged as Junk are deleted automatically. But messages arriving in the Junk folder that are not marked as Junk remain there indefinitely. So my advice is that when creating filters that move messages to the Junk folder, users should remember to include Junk marking as one of the actions taken. And when manually moving messages to Junk, the right way of doing it is to simply hit "J" to tag the message as Junk and let SM do the move itself. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

SM 2.17.1 Junk folder question
I cannot find a location to set the days for messages toremain in the Junk Folder before being automatically deleted. All I can find is a way to manually delete them all.

Messages in junk folder -- formatting missing
Messages moved to my junk folder are often missing all their formatting. I'm wondering if this is considered a feature of Seamonkey? Or a bug? Or might it be caused by the messages themselves? I train SM's adaptive junk system to route all kinds of routine and commercial messages to my junk folder, not because I don't want to read them but because I don't want them popping up in my inbox while I'm working. I also use SM filters to route messages to my junk folder -- but this problem seems to happen to messages that are routed by SM's own junk system. This behavior isn't new, but it seems curious. If it's a feature, is there any way I could turn it off? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Seamonkey Mail Drafts and Junk Folder Corrupted
Using 2.26.1, Vista, and seemed that Mail is acting really slow. Then found that several mail folders contain HUGE files for empty folders. The Drafts folder has a size of 1.2GB and it contains no drafts (empty) while the Junk folder is shown as 195MB and is empty as well. I have hit the Repair Folder button several times for each folder, with no change. Then I deleted their respective .msf files, and no change as well. Inbox folder contains messages but file space reserved seems high as well. Then I considered whether I had corrupt disc file space and used CheckDisc to scan entire C drive. Checkdisc did not find any disc corruption. Any ideas on how to fix this? Delete the Drafts and Junk Folders manually and reinstall Seamonkey?

That sounds reasonable. If I can't disable that behavior, I'll try to modify my filtering systems so those messages are routed differently. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I use my junk folder for two separate purposes: to hold messages marked as junk by Seamonkey's adaptive system, and to hold messages that my custom filters send to junk for later perusal. This works for me; most true spam is removed by mail server before it comes into Seamonkey, so my junk folder ends up holding stuff that mostly I want to look at -- when I have some down time! I also have filters that send certain messages directly to trash; those are messages that a few spammers that manage to regularly evade my server's spam filter, so I'm OK, thrilled actually, with them disappearing automatically. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

After 2.9.x upgrade, slower to empty Junk folder
Greetings, I run the official SM 2.9.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installed via UbuntuZilla. I have noticed that since the 2.9.x series upgrade, emptying the Junk folder takes a noticeably longer time. Yes I do compact all accounts once a week before I pull a profile backup. Right after a compact, it is still slower than emptying the Junk folder on 2.8 and prior. Any thoughts of other things contained in the 2.9.x series that could be negatively affecting performance?
