I have set View-Folders to Unified. This shows single Junk folder with Accounts name as its sub-folders.

The Left side pane listing is somewhat like this: Junk - GMAccount1 - GMAccount2

All accounts are IMAP accounts.

I also have Yahoo IMAP account where Junk folder is named as Bulk Mail.

By default thunderbird does not consider it as Junk folder so what I do is: 1) Right click on top-level unified junk folder and go to properties 2) Under "Select the folders to search" I manually add Yahoo accounts Bulk Mail folder.

After adding I expect that, the left hand side listing would become:

Junk - GMAccount1 - GMAccount2 - YahooAccountName

But it does not show YahooAccount as a subfolder. (Even after restarting thunderbird)

But surprisingly, when I click on top level unified junk folder, then it shows the e-mails in "Bulk Mail" in the right hand side pane.

Which means there is a minor display bug which does not display the folders included in Unified folder.

Please let me know if there is right solution or please correct the bug.

Thank you.

I found a solution:

Goto YahooAccount's properties Junk Settings Under Destination and Retention Check Move new junk messages to: Other: Bulk mail on YahooAccount Restart thunderbird

This way thunderbird knows this is junk folder and then starts displaying it under "Unified Junk" folder.

This solve the problem but I suppose this should not be needed.

Any account mentioned in "Select the folders to search" (in properties of unified folder - as mentioned above), should be displayed under that "unified folder"
