Junk Mail Controls do not work with unified folders?
Is the feature supposed to behave this way? I find this rather tedious. Am I missing something here?
Current behavior:
My installation does not seem to automatically execute spam filtering for unified folders or saved searches. As soon as I manually select one of the included folders within - e.g. an individual mail acccount's inbox - the algorithm triggers and everything works as expected, but only for the one folder I clicked. This leaves me with having to click through all my mail accounts manually to make use of the adaptive junk mail controls function.
Expected behavior:
Selecting a unified folder triggers junk mail controls for all the included folders and moves messages to the respective junk folders automatically.

Puzzling, as unified folders are not real folder. Try clicking the 'get messages' icon first and see if that causes the result you want.
Thank you for your reply.
That doesn't work unfortunately. Just rechecks the mail servers for new messages.
Note - Manual junk controls did not work on virtual folders prior to version 140, but that should have been fixed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1967664 and I see you are using version 140.
And to clarify a point, automatic spam processing only occurs on REAL folders. So your description is slightly confusing.
Perhaps you are seeing a case where the unified folder view is not being updated with changes from the underlying real folder?
Thank you for your reply.
It doesn't look like a general folder update issue. New messages are displayed in the unified folder immediately after starting the application.
Which part of the description do you find confusing?
