All this 'Junk' stuff on the client side is entirely suboptimal, because any well-run server will be doing it server-side.
Indeed. _Determining_ junk belongs on the server. Disposition of Junk belongs on the client though.
Filtering doesn't belong in the MUA
Yes it does. What to do with Junk is a personal preference. Some people might want it deleted without another glance, others might want to be able to peruse it for false positives. Others might want to archive it for future analysis, etc. What I do is disable the Junk determination on the client but have that run on the server and "flag"/score e-mail as junk. Then on evo I have a filter that looks for the flag and sets the status to Junk which of course puts it into that Junk folder.
-- it ought at least to to be optional, and probably not enabled by default.
What I would like is to be able to exclude one or more folders from being included in the Junk vFolder. Because I archive my spam in a "spam" folder (i.e. move from Junk to spam) on my imap server but then Junk ends up showing me the spam in that folder so i end up not knowing which ones are in spam already and potentially wind up moving them from "spam" to "spam" again, via the Junk vFolder. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server.
