In Seamonkey, I created a message filter for this account that is

dialog I made sure that "Run selected filter(s) on:" is set to "Inbox".
I think that option just selects the folder filters are run on if you
click the "Run Now" button.
Ah. That would explain why the spam is _not_ moved when I click "Run Now".
However, the filter insists on also downloading the spam from the "Spam"
folder. The setting in the filter dialog seems to have no effect. Why is
that so and how can I change it?
I'm not sure how to change that. From a quick search, it looks like
there are some extensions to enable filters to work on subfolders,
implying that they usually only operate on the inbox. Perhaps try
starting SeaMonkey with add-ons disabled (Help > Restart with Add-ons
Disabled) and see if filters are still applied to the spam folder?
There are almost no add-ons running on that machine. Only NoScript, and
somehow I doubt that NoScript has something to do with it.
Does SeaMonkey filter mail from the spam folder which was received while
it's not running
Yes, that's what it does. Kind of defeats the purpose of the provider's
spam filter.
