I have working spam filter, and working message filtering rules. All was working fine, until I became too much spam into filtered messages and I changed the option to recognize spam before filtering rule is applied to messages.

How should it work is that spam messages falls allways to SPAM folder, regardless if they should be filtered later or not.

Now, I have filtered messages marked as spam into folder, where should be only filtered (and legitimate) messages.

Also it looks, that spam messages are only marked and not filtered out to spam folder...

Version - 52.4.0 - latest 32-bit build.

I haven't tried the option. You may want to raise a bug in Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
