Junk Mailbox

The junk folder is for collecting mail that Thunderbird or the user's mail server has deemed to be Spam.

Displayed Folder Pane

In the Folder Pane the Junk folder displays the junk count but does not appear bold to indicate new or read junk messages. The number of Junk messages is shown because Thunderbird can automatically move messages into this mailbox. By showing the number of messages in the Junk mailbox we allow people to see that new junk has arrived while not indicating to them that they need to look in the junk folder unnecessarily.

Automatic Removal Policy

By default Junk mail will automatically be removed (locally and remotely) after 30 days.

When viewing junk mail we need to indicate to the user our automatic junk removal policy. The area used to indicate our policy should also allow for removing all junk immediately as well as helping the user jump to their junk mail settings.
