Where is my junk mail

I have used IE for years to access my MSN account. Every day there is at
least one item in my junk mail folder that is not really junk, so I wish to
view the junk, to find the stuff that isn't supposed to be there.
I just started using Outlook Express, and all of my MSN mail comes in okay,
in the Inbox. But there is no "junk mail" folder, so I get no junk mail. I
went back to checking the MSN mail with IE and there it was... and also in
the junk there were things that are not junk, so I wonder, is there any way
I can also recieve the "junk" mail with Outlook Express, or must I keep
checking it with IE?

If you're using a POP account to access MSN mail, don't expect to ever see a
junk mail folder. POP protocols have no concept of folders.

Yahoo!'s POP accounts can be configured to include the junk mail folder as
part of the download to allow the client to do the filtering. Also, the
junk mail filter can be disabled. Perhaps MSN has those abilities as well.
Alternatively, if MSN's junk filter is trainable, you may be able to teach
it what's junk and what's not so that, while you may have to check it
periodically via the web interface, it will get more and more accurate until
the false positives are rare.
