Contacts email marked as Junk

Post by jl123 »

All of a sudden emails from someone in my Address Book is going into the Junk folder.
I have the Settings Do not automatically mark email as junk if Sender is in Collected, Personal, etc. checked.

How do I stop legit emails from going into the Junk Folder?
I do mark them as Not Junk when it does go into that Folder.

Thanks in advance.

I don't see any recent similar threads on this forum or in the official support forums so its probably not a bug introduced in 91.9.0. Does this problem only occur for one sender?

You could try running in safe mode via help -> troubleshoot mode and see if this is a weird side effect of an add-on that isn't fully compatible with 91.9.0.

I tried the troubleshoot mode.
No error or crash reports showing up.
I do not have any add-ons installed.

Yes, so far it was with only one sender. Strange. As this sender has been around for many years without
any problems like this.

The order of processing is:

Message filters
"Trust header"
"Adaptive junk" (junk mail controls)

As a temporary workaround see if creating a message filter to move all messages from that sender to the inbox (even though its already in the inbox) helps. I'm hoping that it will fail (do nothing) but as a side effect prevent the junk mail controls from processing that message.
