Category: Outlook Group: Binary 1.0rc2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ducem Barr (ducembarr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Outlook 2003: does not "mark as read" in folder list Initial Comment: I recently switched to Outlook 2003 SP1 and re-run the SpamBayes configuration wizard. Everything works fine, but I noticed that Spambayes has stopped marking spam messages as read, although the option is set. To be more specific: messages are marked as not read in the folder list (i.e. folder name is set bold and number of unread mails is shown), but the message appears as read inside of the folder. This applies to messages filtered automatically in the Inbox. On the other hand, "Junk suspects" stay unread on both accounts even when classified manually as spam via "Delete as Spam". I searched the help files, FAQs and bug messages and have found nothing so far. Has anyone got a solution for this weird behavior ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kenny Pitt (kpitt) Date: 2005-01-26 12:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=859086 The default behavior for the "Junk E-mail" folder in Outlook 2003 is to display the total number of messages, not the number of unread messages. In this mode, Outlook will bold the folder name if there are *any* messages in the folder, and the number to the right of the folder name will be the total message count. This can be a little confusing because if you do a right-click/Properties on the "Junk E-mail" folder, Outlook may tell you that it is showing number of unread messages even though it isn't. If you switch the setting to show total and close the Properties dialog, then open it again and change the setting back to show unread then the setting should get changed. The easiest way to tell the difference is to look at how the number is displayed. If the number is in square brackets (e.g. "[2]") then you are seeing the total number of messages. If the number is in normal parentheses (e.g. "(2)"), then you are seeing the number of unread messages. Regarding marking messages as read when you click "Delete as Spam", this is controlled by a different setting than marking classified spam as unread. Look on the Training tab in SpamBayes Manager. In the Incremental Training section, you should see a setting for "Clicking 'Delete as Spam' button should". Is this set to "mark the message as read" or to "not change the message"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ducem Barr (ducembarr) Date: 2005-01-26 05:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=880328 I repeat, to me it is no "lag behind" problem. Although "Mark spam as read" is on, spam is only marked read in the right-hand panel, not in the folder list. Following your suggestion, I left some messages for hours in the Junk E-Mail folder, waiting for a lag to manifest. Nothing happened. In the meantime, I have updated to 1.0.1 ; that changed nothing with respect to this problem, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-01-16 22:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 I believe this is a case of the rather common problem where Outlook updates lag behind where they should be. It occurs with Outlook 2002 (I see it) as well as 2003 - always Exchange, I think. Unfortunately, no-one seems to have a solution at this point in time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ducem Barr (ducembarr) Date: 2004-10-15 04:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=880328 Thanks, anadelonbrin, for the enquiry. No, the Outlook folder list does not lag behind in anything else but SpamBayes. And yes, it is a local pst, pulling emails from a pop3 server. Background filtering is on (2 & 1 secs), only for folders that receive new mail. Spambayes has produced zero error messages. I use 1.0 rc2. Any ideas what causes the bug ? Ducem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-10-12 23:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 This sounds like something Outlook is doing, rather than SpamBayes. Essentially the problem is that the message is marked as read, but the folder list isn't updated, right? (To mark as read with the "Delete as Spam" button, you have to turn a separate option on, in the Training tab of the SpamBayes Manager). Do you ever see the folder list lagging behind when you manually mark messages as read? Is this a local pst, IMAP server, Exchange, hotmail...? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1032744&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
