(Restore simple spam folder use)
=Other Sieve Notes=
*When using fileinto: with :create, a new folder will be created if it does not already exist, this is normal. In this case, the new folder will be subscribed to automatically. -You may need to restart your client, or collapse and reopen the folder list (e.g. Thunderbird), for it to notice that there is a new folder that should be listed.
*spam folder: If you have a folder called 'spam' then email which is marked as spam will end up there bypassing any Sieve filters. If you do not wish to happen then rename or delete the folder called 'spam', and add a filter to move spam marked messages to another folder (e.g. junk, rubbish, etc.) '''Update November 2023''': this doesn'tappears seemnot to be the case - it looks like messages are processed by the spam engines, and then passed through Sieve filtering so you can decide what to do with the spam using Sieve rules. To recreate the previous behaviour you might need a rule like:
require ["fileinto","mailbox"];
if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
if header :is "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto :create "spam";
stop;
}
}
