I'm using Outlook 2003 to connect to an IMAP server that handles my mail, but
also does spam filtering. Only, the spam filtered by the server is moved to
another folder than Outlook moves unwanted email to. This makes strange
things happen, like Outlook moving mails from the server-spam-folder to the
outlook-spam-folder, and this un-learning the server... Or the server moving
messages back, triggering Outlook about new mail, but it deems it unwanted
again...

Is there a way to change the name of the folder Outlook moves unwanted
messages to? I would try to make them overlap, and learn from each-other if
they succeed in agreeing about messages being unwanted or not.

Outlook's Junk E-mail filter works on IMAP accounts. The IMAP server must
be presenting the messages in the server-sode SPAM folder as new messages
and so Outlook is processing them. Try unsubscribing from the server's SPAM
folder.

You cannot rename any of Outlook's default folders, including the Junk
E-mail folder.

Is there a way to subscribe to an IMAP folder under a different name? If I
could subscribe to the 'SPAM' folder on the server, but have Outlook show it
as the 'Unwanted emails' folder, it would solve my problem.
