Vista - Windows Mail Annoyance

Hi all

I am having an anoyance with Windows Mail using IMAP

Windows Mail first downloads Headers and then, at it's own pace, downloads
the bodies. that's fine!

The issue is if I select a message that I Know is SPAM (from the subject),
and press delete, and if Windows Mail's Junk Mail filters also thinks it's
SPAM, Mail moves that message and selects the next and of course the
buffered delete goes to that message!
So I either don't preview messages or wait for Mail to delete or not the
message.
Furthermore, if I have a bunch of messages selected and Mail moves the
bottom one it extends the selection down! Arggg!

This is almost on the same level of utter anoyance than Focus Stealing
(there goes an Enter on an important system message which I will never know
the contents or ooops the guy behind me just saw my very important password)

.... feel a little better now ....

Anyway, anyone knows of a way to instruct the Junk Mail filter to mark the
message (gray it out or something) instead of moving ? (I doubt this
behaviour is ever going to get fixed)
looked for something, couldn't find it. I don't want to turn off the junk
mail filter, it's quite aceptable

Thanks

Your posting properties indicate Windows Live Mail(WLM), but the message indicates WM/Windows Mail(Vista).

If the latter, Windows Mail newsgroup
Nttp:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ows.vista.mail
On the web:

Both WLM and WM Junk Mail filter operate on the principle if email address is 'Safe ' by adding the email address to the Safe
Sender list or to your Contact List and checking the 'Also trust e-mail from my Contacts' option on the Safe Sender List. Messages
not meeting this criteria and suspicious as Junk will be moved.

It's still not clear in which application you're seeing the
behaviour you describe. In WLMail, incoming messages can only be
junk filtered after the body has downloaded (because body contents
have to be assessed as well as headers). The obvious answer to your
perceived problem is not to delete junk, but leave it in the junk
folder where you can scan it at leisure and then use the little 'x'
to empty the folder when you're satisfied that you don't want to
keep anything in it. Junk mail will not display in the preview pane;
if you're not sure whether a message there is junk or not, delete
it - this will move it unread to your Deleted items folder. All you
then have to do is scan that folder's unread messages to see whether
it really was junk or not.
If your question is actually about Windows Mail on Vista, you'd
better ask again in the forum Winston pointed you to. Regardless of
superficial resemblances in the two programs, they are not the same.
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand your reference to 'focus
stealing'.
