When Autosort is on, spam-handling works fine: a "magic" undeletable Spam area is created and pressing the Spam button closes a case, sends it to the Spam area, and the case no longer shows up in regular searches.
For various reasons I cannot use Autosort, so I have to deal with spam manually. I created an area named "Spam" in the appropriate project. However, I encountered the following problems when selecting an inquiry and pressing the Spam button:
1) The case is not automatically moved to the Spam area.
2) The case still shows up in regular searches.
3) If I manually move the case to the Spam area, the case still shows up in regular searches.
So how do I get the spam-handling stuff working when Autosort is off?
