Title:
  Hide Junk messages in Search folders

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

SRU JUSTIFICATION:
A minimal patch that hides messages marked as Junk if and only if the current folder to display is a virtual, search folder. Standard folders such as pure IMAP folders will still show the message. Furthermore, there is a "Junk" folder which already groups messages marked as Junk, so the risk to actually lose a message is minimal.

Additionally, this appears to be a regression from Lucid, where Junk messages would not be shown in Search Folders.

TEST CASE:
1) Create a search folder that lists a number of messages from one or various sources (mail folders)
2) From the search folder, mark a message from the list as Junk.
3) Navigate to the Junk folder, make sure the marked message is listed.
4) Navigate back to the search folder; make sure the message is not visible.
5) (optional) mark the message back as Not Junk

I case of failure, the message will not be visible in the Junk folder. For a failed test case, the message could also still be visible in the new search folder.
For a successful test case, the message marked as Junk will no longer be listed in the Search folder, but will be visible in the Junk folder.

The upstream bug 617953 has a patch which prevents junk messages from being visible in search folders.  I will attach a backport of that patch for Ubuntu's 2.30.3 evolution.
