How to exclude an IMAP folder from Junk Mail adaptive filtres analisys
I acces to a special folder on my IMAP server containing all mails tagged as spam fro all users in may domain. All messages in this folder are obvious spam but if Thunderbird marks them as spam again and move them to my account's spam folder i start a loop making also the spam engine at my server side to analyse them again.... and so more...
So what i need is to find a way to instruct Thunderbird to disable spam controls only on that folder.
I found out there was an add-on doing this "Foldersflag" but it seems to be discontinued...
Best regards.

why not just specify the folder as the junk folder in your account settings.
I'm a mail server sysadmi. I cannot set that special folder as my private spam folder, because it's a special folder directly managed by my mail server for all accounts in the domain... more than 500.
I have my personal spam folder fully operational and perfectly integrated with Thunderbird and cooperating in spam detection.
I share that special admin-folder on my IMAP-account structure because it make easier monitoring mails tagged as spam by users in the domain and getting shorter times in identifying massive phish/viruses mailing not detected by Automated services to take global countermeasures for all users.
As a workaround I'll modify the share method of the folder to read-only (server-side)... this will forbid Thunderbird from marking/moving mails in that folder. But i think that blocking the analysis should be a cleaner approach
Setting the folder read-only doesn't solve because Thunderbird cannot delete from the folder but after scanning the mails puts a copy in my account spam folder starting the loop!
As the server admin, I would simply add an additional account to display the folder hence getting the opportunity to disable junk filtering on the account. I know of no way to exclude a single folder from junk filtering
If you have 500> users you would like to get technical accounts to the minimum.
I know it's a workaround I can take.
As there was a mean to get this till to Rel 31 through the extension above there should be a way built in the Program structure...

I've no problem to play with config files directly but not enough time to search for the structure inside.
