I believe it is a local folder or a folder associated
with your e-mail provide (your choice) called 'junk'.
Under Tools->Junk Mail controls, you get the options
for what do do with any junk mail. (you can also pick
a different folder if you want. The option is at the
bottom of the junk mail controls dialog box)
I just ran it on my adelphia account, and I had 28
messages, 23 were labeled as junk, one spam got to my
inbox, which will be marked by me immediately.
