        Hi,
moving messages to a virtual/search folder is tricky, basically because
the move operation is supposed to make sure that the message will
satisfy search folder's criteria, which may seem trivial in case of the
virtual Junk (or Trash) folder, but not in general. Of course, there can
be special-cases for these Trash/Junk, but by using the toolbar's "Mark
as Junk" button you do not only "move" the message into the Junk folder,
but also let your spam filter (bogofilter or spamassassin) learn about
the junk message, which will help it in the future with the spam
detection.
        Bye,
