This is an SSL/IMAP folder, and I previously had a working Junk folder (though I had to manually set the location for it to work). So I'd hope for it to work now. The one difference that may matter is that all my folders are children of the Inbox. I don't know what IMAP server we run here, but things like Drafts and Trash all live under Inbox. But those other special folders work fine. It's just Junk that fails to do the right thing.

I never noticed, but the Junk folder shows just a normal (secure) folder icon. Good catch!

I see no spamTarget pref, but I do see:
mail.server.
mail.server.

I was really hoping that trick would do the trick, but it did not.
Does it matter that we use SSL here?
