+ * which is not always the case. I don't want to change nsIFolderListener at this
+ * point since there are lots of extensions that rely on it. Eventually,
+ * these two interfaces should be combined somehow.

+ * released and the database has been committed. aItem is the folder.
+ *
+ * - FolderReindexTriggered: The user has opted to rebuild the mork msf index
+ * for a folder. Following this notification, the database will be
+ * closed, backed up (so that header properties can be propagated), and
+ * then rebuilt from the source. The rebuild is triggered by a call to
+ * updateFolder, so an nsIFolderListener OnItemEvent(folder,
+ * FolderLoaded atom) notification will be received if you want to know
+ * when this is all completed. Note: this event is only generated for
+ * Thunderbird because the event currently comes from Thunderbird-specific
+ * code.
+ *
+ * - JunkStatusChanged: Indicates that some messages that had already been
+ * reported by msgsClassified have had their junk status changed. This
+ * event will not fire for the initial automatic classification of
+ * messages; msgsClassified will tell you about those messages. This
+ * notification may be promoted to an explicit callback function at some
+ * point. This is not guaranteed to be a comprehensive source of junk
+ * notification events; right now any time an nsMsgDBView marks things as
+ * junk/non-junk a notification is produced. aItem is an nsIArray of
+ * messages, aData is either a "junk" or "notjunk" atom if all of the
+ * messages have the same state.
+ *
+ * - UnincorporatedMessageMoved: A messages received via POP was moved
