Request for enhancement: account-specific treatment of junk messages

[Andrew B. Peed]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Source package: thunderbird, package version 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Ubuntu release: Hardy Heron, v8.04

This is more a request for enhancement, rather than a bug report. I currently use Thunderbird to access 3 email accounts. I would like to use one set of adaptive learning algorithms to detect junk email, but be able to control what happens with incoming detected junk depending upon the account it's detected upon.

For instance, for junk coming into my <myisp.com> account, I'd like to move it into the Junk folder under that account. For junk coming into my Gmail account, I'd like to move it into the [GMail]->Spam folder. For the third email account, I'd like to automatically just delete them.

As far as I've been able to determine, setting a destination folder for junk messages on one account forces the same destination folder to be used on ALL accounts, which is not what I want to do.

Thanks for your consideration!

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for taking the time to report this suggestion and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 373244

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
