'All Mail' includes 'Spam'

Reported by Thomas Hanke | December 12th, 2010 @ 12:15 PM

As the title says. Irritating to check the last mail and read about Vɪagra...

Btw, I don't like 'All Mail' obligatory on top.

More general, it'd be nice to be able to move or delete the obligatory folders - I don't need the 'Junk' folder on a par with others.
Perhaps secured by a preference, with an option to restore the original set of folders.

And you write 'Junk' folder, but 'Spam factor'.

    MailMate needs to know which mailbox is the junk mailbox on the server in order to not show them in All Messages. Please check the mailbox type of your junk mailbox (in the IMAP account). If it is a bug in MailMate then the junk message should appear in both 'All Messages' and the 'Junk' mailbox under 'Mailboxes'. Is this the case?

    I'll keep in mind that more flexibility is needed for which standard mailboxes to display in the outline (and in what order).

    Oh, sorry, then it's part of my problem I can't assign 'Mailbox Types' such as 'Junk' and 'Archive' to folders.

    I forgot to mention it yesterday.
    I tried to assign e.g. 'Archive' to 'All Mail'.

    It still doesn't work here, on folders on different levels and different accounts.
    It does work for some 'Draft' and Sent messages' folders. But I can't tell who assigned them, could have been MailMate.

    'assigned': I meant 'created'. At the moment, I've got two 'Draft' folders, one in [Gmail], one in [Google Mail].

    By default, MailMate does not handle the [Google Mail] prefix well. The
    [Gmail] style is assumed and so is English mailbox names. It would of course be nice if this was improved.

    One of your draft mailboxes may have been created by MailMate. It is
    easier to see which one is correct and delete the wrong one in Gmails
    web interface. (And you cannot delete IMAP mailboxes within MailMate
    yet.)

    But you should be able to assign all mailbox types manually. How does it
    fail to assign, e.g., the Junk mailbox type to Gmails spam mailbox
    (which is probably [Google Mail]/Spam in your case)? Could you elaborate.

    A. Yeah, the folders confusion is definitely an issue between Google and me. It's best to check which labels to delete

    B. Mailbox types:

    1. I select some folder.
    2. right-click or the "wheel thingie down there".
    3. Select 'Mailbox type'

    ... Mmh, just solved some % of the riddle:

    [['Draft' folders in [Gmail] are recognized, but I can't select]] No: 'Draft', 'Sent', 'Deleted' do work, but I can only select one if the last one is de-selected. Makes sense, one 'Draft' etc. per account.

    It seems I can't select any folder as 'Junk' or 'Archive'. Regardless of position in the hierarchy.

    Yes, there can only be 1 Draft mailbox for an account, but you should be
    able to select the draft mailbox type for any mailbox (and it will then
    automatically be deselected for any existing draft mailbox). I'll try to
    see if I can find any problems with the relevant code, but if you have
    any additional information it would be welcome.

    The main problem in this ticket has been fixed: There was a bug in the code for selecting mailbox type.
