This is something recent then.  This behaviour did not use to exist.

Right.  I understand that.

I understand this.

Ahhh.  I believe Junk used to only be applied to your INBOX.  It think
this is the behaviour that has changed.

Yes, I do understand all of this.  I know exactly what the problem is,
just not how to best deal with it.  I don't want the Junk vFolder to
look in a particular folder.  Or any folders other than INBOX if that
makes it any easier.

This is the behaviour that is new.

IMAP.

I do.  I do want the Junk folder which I can peruse from time to time
for false positives.  And I want to be able to "Not Junk" them so that
sa-learn can be taught it was not junk.

Right, but I do want to close the loop and be able to tell sa-learn that
something was not junk.

No.  I have a "customized" sa-learn which is just a front-end to an "ssh
mailserver sa-learn ..." so that sa-learn is run on the actual mail
server, not the local client.

Indeed, this single sa-learn wrapper is able to run whatever the "this
is not spam" command is on multiple mail servers.  It looks at the
X-Evolution-Source to decide what command to run on what node to learn
something is not junk.

It's not actually.  The behaviour (the Junk vFolder) is exactly the
behaviour I want.  I just don't want it looking at all of my folders,
just my INBOX.

I appreciate all of your thoughts and ideas on this though.  Any more
would be much appreciated.
