Possible spam filtering bug
Folks,
Somewhere along the way, Adaptive Spam Filtering became enabled on one of my accounts. If I turned it on, I must have done it by mistake because I NEVER allow programs to sort spam for me. Regardless, since I didn't intentionally turn this filter on, I also never made a corresponding SPAM folder.
I've been missing emails sporadically for a while and finally found the SPAM filtration enabled. Without a folder to move them into, I can only assume they were automatically deleted...except the "deleted" folder remains empty. What happens to emails under these circumstances?
I would assume if the program can't find the folder to move them into, it would throw an error of some kind, but I never received any notification that anything was amiss. I would then assume, sans an appropriate folder, the program might delete the files, but they aren't in the deleted items folder.
Is this a bug? Whether it is or not, can you tell the program to not move the mails, and throw up a box telling the user he doesn't have a SPAM folder to move the emails into.

Re: Possible spam filtering bug
How can we reproduce the issue? If SPAM filtering is enabled, a separate SPAM folder is always created.
