Prevent junk filter to check some folders

Hi there, how can I prevent the junk detection engine to browse any subfolder of my inbox?

I have configured a sieve script to automatically filter and move some mails to a subfolder, this is happening at the server level, so before Thunderbird had any chance to see the mails. While some of those mails are actually looking like junks, I want to keep them in the folder they were filtered to. But currently Thunderbird is moving them out to the junk folder.

How do I force the engine to check only mails from the inbox folder and don't check any other folder? Can I do this without disabling the whole junk engine? Should I fill a feature request?

Thunderbird's junk filter is not aware there is a folder other than the inbox and junk folters. I suggest you look as possible server side junk filtering such as spamassasin.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I know that dovecot is configured to move automatically whatever spamassassin consider to be spam into the junk folder. But when it does so, it also add a prefix to the subject and since I didn't see this prefix, I put the blame on Thunderbird.

I'm a bit puzzled now.
