Spam mail keeps returning

When I move an email to the Spam folder
I expected all email from the same Sender would be treated as Spam
Is that not set up yet?
Thanks!

That would depend on how your e-mail provider deals with spam messages. Aquamail doesn't do any analysis or blocking.
You may want to check where the Spam folder is mapped in Aquamail: so that Aquamail saves the messages to the folder on the server as expected by the provider.  Please see Aquamail FAQ for how to do that.

I should also note that unfortunately, IMAP does not have a standard way for a mail app to mark messages as spam -- there is no "spam" flag, like there is a flag for "starred" or "read" or "has been replied to".

So moving to the server's Spam folder is the best that the app is able to do...

I have one account on our ISP, one on gmail, and three via my Web host.

The Seamonkey email app was able to filter spam for all of these accounts, why not an Android app?

This article shows how the gmail Android app flags spam for it's server - is there a way to send the same data to the gmail server in AquaMail?

Could AquaMail run a background script to open a minimalist email server that notifies the email host (perhaps via webmail) of spam to filter?

Just thinking out loud ...

Gmail app has its own proprietary protocol for communicating with Gmail server.
However, I believe when any other e-mail app moves a message to Gmail's Spam folder, Gmail server takes a note and analyzes that message as Spam.
Again, the FAQ for Aquamail has an item "Moving messages into spam folder" that describes how to set it up.

That's an anti-spam measure to limit forum spam. After a few postings, you'll be able to post links.

There is no such protocol defined. The only tool (for those e-mail  servers that have ability to deal with that) is to move to the Spam folder, as described above.

Can you allow the user to Blacklist an address by moving an email to the Spam folder?
Then a script compares incoming emails to the blacklisted addresses in the Spam folder.
A simple filter-scrip would send blacklisted emails automatically to the Trash folder.
Simple, manual blacklisting - not an automated spam filter like in Seamonkey, but it sure would be 1,000x better than seeing the same undesired emails over & over (especially the obnoxious political spam).
It sounds trivial to me - but I haven't written scripts for a long time & never for an Android app.
WDYT?
Thanks!
