Junk mail question
Michael Fogler
iMac with Snow Leopard. When Mail labels an email as junk it is putting
it in the junk mailbox and it also makes a copy of it and puts it in the
trash mailbox. Why does it do this? Is there a way to have it not make
that extra copy?

Do you have any rules whose condition is "Message is junk"?

Do you by chance have a "rule" that tells it to do this?

Yes, but it doesn't say to put a copy in the trash mailbox.

I suppose it's possible your mail server is detecting the message as
spam and moving it to a trash folder on the server.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
