Thanks for the informative reply. I have followed up with a support
query to my email server people (Tuffmail).

That seems unlikely. The "Junk" mailbox under the top-level
"Mailboxes" section of the folder list is a simple merge of each of
the IMAP mailboxes that MailMate has labeled as "Junk" type, one for
each IMAP account. Unless you have SpamSieve enabled or have set up
your own rules associated with mailboxes, MailMate only moves messages
from an account's Inbox (or other folder) into what it sees as the
"Junk" folder for that account when you tell it to do so.
Maybe I never noticed all those messages in there before. Is there a
way for me to turn off MailMate’s Junk folder filter?
No, because there is *NO SUCH THING!*
I have my email server handling that in a different folder. SpamSieve
is not enabled in my MailMate settings.
If messages are being moved from your Inbox (or anywhere else) to
Junk, it is due to one of 4 things:
1. SpamSieve (which you'd need to install and enable in MM, so that's
not it.)
2. A rule in MailMate associated with the mailbox that's losing
messages to "Junk"
3. MailMate has the wrong "type" assigned to some IMAP "source"
mailbox.
4. Some other IMAP client or server-side gadget moving messages
entirely apart from MailMate.
My bet is on (4), maybe mixed with (3).
MM allows you to set the type of exactly one mailbox in each IMAP
account to "Junk". MM moves messages in the same account to that
mailbox and tags them as junk whenever you use the "Move to Junk"
function. The actual IMAP mailbox may not be named Junk and you may
have an IMAP mailbox named Junk that is not the one MM has labeled as
THE Junk-type mailbox for that account. MM merges all Junk-type
mailboxes into its own virtual "Junk" mailbox. It also does this with
Archives, Drafts, Deleted Messages, and Sent Messages. If you have a
server-side mechanism of some sort delivering message to a "Junk" IMAP
mailbox, you should make sure that MM has that IMAP mailbox typed as
Junk and not some other mailbox. You should also make sure the server
gadget isn't eagerly sweeping every IMAP mailbox looking for messages
to analyze and move into whatever mailbox it uses for Junk.
