I'm having the same problem. I'm using an Exchange account. For a while
I was on Windows with Outlook, and all my spam was being filtered into a
folder called "Junk E-mail", which exists on the Exchange server. I then
installed Ubuntu, set up Evolution, and turned on spam filtering
(bogofilter was the default, so I left it). I selected the entire
contents of my "Junk E-mail" folder and right clicked -> "Mark as Junk".
Very soon, all the selected emails started to disapear.

They still show up in the "Junk E-mail" folder if I use the web
interface to Exchange, but not in Evolution. I saw that there was a
"Junk" folder underneath the "On This Computer" account, but nothing
appears there. I also tried setting up a search folder that looked for
"Status" is "Junk" using "All local and active remote folders". Yet this
yielded nothing. I can't for the life of me figure out how to see my
Junk messages (of which some might need to be re-classified as not
junk).

Furthermore, right above the list of messages there is a pull-down menu
labeled "Show" which is set to "All Messages". The pull-down list
includes "Messages Not Junk"; if junk messages are never shown no matter
what, what's the use of a filter which doesn't show them? It's existence
as an option would lead me to believe that "All Messages" would include
junk messages.

Junk filtering in Evolution is really screwed up. It should be
configurable to place junk email in a user specified folder, or mark it
as junk, or move it to the trash, or delete it right away.

Mails tagged as Junk remain hidden, even when setting up a search filter that 
explicitly checks for it.
