This will end up in your Inbox unless a rule acts on it. Diane, I can understand why Entourage might not automatically move messages. Of course, the Junk Mail Filter could have a checkbox that defaults to "off" that allows junk mail to be moved to a folder of the user's choice. But in any case, my question really had to do with the fact that I ran the Junk Mail Filter on a folder "On My Computer" (not my IMAP Inbox). After I did so, I displayed just the messages in the folder with the category "Junk". I wondered why some of the messages that were displayed were NOT listed with the category of "Junk". Perhaps the Junk Mail Filter both sets the "junk status" as well as the "junk category". Is there a simple way to display messages with a particular *status* (e.g. "junk")?
