Re: Junk Mail Controls???

Maybe my error is in selecting the messages to run the junk mail controls on. Parish assumed that I was running the JMC on the junk folder. I have not. My procedure has been to manually move all messages that JMC flags to the junk folder, then manually flag spam that the JMC missed. Then I manually move those to the junk folder, select ALL in the junk folder, then "mark selected messages as junk" I have the JMC controls set to move the detected junk mail to the junk folder which I created, but they don't get moved. I gather that running the JMC on the junk folder is somehow different from selecting all the messages in the junk folder , or is it??? This is why I would like to have the text for operating the JMC in the online help files. Or, failing that, have someone knowlegeble teach me what I am doing incorrectly.... (Parish???) Thanks! BC

Re: Junk Mail Controls???

Part two: I just went to my junk folder, edited it and assured that everything in it was (is) unwanted, and flagged all the messages with the trashcan icon. Then I selected "run filters on selected folder" from the tools menu. Wonder is that will make any difference!

Then I selected "run filters on selected folder" from the tools menu. Wonder is that will make any difference! If the messages that are in the junk folder were already flagged as junk or moved there as junk then you don't have to run the controls as that means the filter is working and trained for those types of messages. Ok, one more time for clarity because this is still unclear to me. Assuming I've never before used or setup junk mail controls. I enable the Junk Mail Controls. Then, 1. I get one (or more) junk mails in my Inbox. 2. I highlight the messages, click the Junk button, the little Junk icon appears next to the messages. 3. I then click Tools -- Run Junk mail controls on selected messages. 4. The Junk icon on some of the messages toggles off. What the hell does that signify? 5. I select a bunch of good messages and do Tools -- Mark selected as NOT Junk to train the filter. 6. Next day I fire up Mozilla and do the same thing. I get that the filter must be trained. What puzzles (and alarms me) is having messages I explicitly mark as Junk having the Junk icon turned off when I Run Junk Mail Controls. This seems contradictory, or at best, confusing behavior. Is there any clear and precise documentation by the person(s) who wrote this function that explains how to use it? -- Ed Mullen http://edmullen.net Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
