Quick way to send emails marked as spam to the spam folder (or automatically do so)

[Cwpute]

Some emails i receive are automatically marked as spam, which is a good thing. But i can't send them to the spam folder easily, which kind of removes the point of automatically flagging them. This is even less easy if you have several Inboxes in use, which requires you move the marked email to the right spam folder, navigating menues or visually seeking the right folder in the big list on the left. Also they can't automatically get moved to the spam folder because there is not option for it in the settings, even though there is one for emails manually marked as spam.

I have two suggestions that could help with that:

1. A new button on the yellow spam banner available inside marked emails to move it to the spam folder:
2. Provide an option to automatically move the emails that Betterbird marks as spam to the spam folder (but it could lead to users missing some wrongly flagged emails, so not desirable, unless users are warned)

Hmm, let's not confuse SPAM with scam alerts. Also, there is already an option to move SPAM do the SPAM folder:

In account settings:

In the setting for manually marked SPAM:

What's missing for you?

Ah yes sorry, i was indeed mixing junk with detected scams. The screenshot provided was still for an email marked as junk though, not scam.

I didn't realize i could find a fitting option in the account settings! It appears to be a typical case of "didn't find what i was searching for so it must be missing". What's missing for me then can be a couple of things... i can find several that could help/have helped me. By order of relevance:

1. a search feature that spans the account settings as well
2. being prompted to look into account settings for more options when looking at app settings
3. having the account settings being more prominently featured in the app settings
4. quickly set the same account option for all accounts set up in Betterbird (but that only works if you know the option exists to begin with)

Also, my first suggestion would still be welcome for recognized spam that isn't already in a spam folder:

You can do that by setting pref mail.server.default.moveOnSpam to true.

for recognized spam that isn't already in a spam folder:

So you want a button that moves SPAM messages since you forgot to configure the client correctly? Not planned, sorry.

Look, we're about implementing functions that don't exist or don't work for users to achieve results they can't achieve now. You can perfectly move the messages manually and the correct configuration will take care of it in the future.
