[Email Client] Capability to mark email as spam
This is missing currently from the email client. Where possible (depending on backend), email client should allow for marking of emails as SPAM and consequently move them to the appropriate SPAM folder.
Upon marking an email as SPAM, the user must have the chance to identify the spam folder as such (if no known spam folder is available / has been chosen by the user yet); the mail client by default must try to identify such folder based on known names, for example "spam", "junkmail", ....
The point of this is to improve capability of mail client users to remove spam.
Im not sure I understand this proposal: The technical difference between "Move to folder [foldername]" and "Makr as spam" in a mail client is usually that the latter influences a learning spam filter. The Jolla mail client doesn't have a spam filter. What you would end up with is having two "Move to folder" commands in the context menu. Is there anything I miss?

move to folder
move to spam
Can you see the difference in usability there? In the second case, The users does NOT
The fact that there is a move to folder option does in fact legitimate the functionality, But not the usability in my opinion.plus, mark as spam is definitively more intuitive than move to folder.
tortoisedoc ( 2014-11-21 15:22:01 +0200 )edit@tortoisedoc now I understand. It's a shortcut. - OK, maybe it makes sense that way. Still, I wonder how they'd implement this. At least the user can guess what the spam folder on the server side. AFAIK the mail client can't, so they'd meke the user choose one spam folder per account that this aciton will apply to and not present the action if the user didn't choose a folder (because maibe there isn't one).
Difficult to implement. Nice, though, if it works.
ossi1967 ( 2014-11-21 15:27:43 +0200 )editexactly; but withe the users help you can define the spam folder client side (once) and you are ready to go. In particular, it could be done with the RFC posted by NielDK below
