It's a bug alright, though the original reporter may not have been as clear about it as they should.
Junk filtering is DISABLED in evolution (edit -> preferences -> junk, ensure "check incoming messages for junk" is unchecked and to be safe uncheck "check custom headers for junk"). Despite that, messages are shown in the "junk" vfolder on my users' Evolution IMAP accounts (backed by Cyrus IMAPd). As junk filtering was _never_ _enabled_ on the account, there is no way the junk folder could/should contain messages. The immediate cause of the messages appearing in Junk is that they have the "Junk" IMAP flag set. At least, that's how it looks from digging through CAMEL_DEBUG=all CAMEL_DEBUG_VERBOSE=all output: sexp is : [(match-all (system-flag "Junk"))] Equivalent sql SELECT uid FROM 'Inbox' WHERE (junk = 1) So - we know why they're appearing in Junk, but not how they got the Junk IMAP flag set. None of the messages it's hiding as junk have X -Spam-Flag or X-Spam-Level headers. Bogofilter shouldn't be being run as junk filtering is disabled. So how are they getting flagged? One of the journalists at work missed a story because of this bug/"feature" after we moved from Thunderbird to Evolution on the thin clients. Evo decided that half her mail was junk and quietly ate it. I'm encountering this on a Jaunty system with evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu2. The account is an IMAP account talking to a Cyrus IMAPd server. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Summary changed: - Can't disable junk filtering + Messages flagged as Junk even when junk filtering off (IMAP) -- Messages flagged as Junk even when junk filtering off (IMAP) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
