If you really do mean Exchange rather than IMAP, then FYI I've never
gotten junk mail filtering to work properly with Exchange Connector.  If
I ever mark a message as junk, it completely disappears just as you
describe; I have to use OWA to see it.

I filed this bug about 2.5 years ago:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353715

Luckily my company does pretty good spam filtering so I don't really
need any personal filtering.  As recommended by others, I just disabled
spam filtering for that account.

Right now I'm a bit caught because my company switched to Exchange 2007
in December (without telling anyone in dev, anyway :-/) and I simply do
not have time to try getting the pre-release versions of Evo 2.26 with
MAPI support going.  Heck, I haven't even had time to upgrade my main
Ubuntu box from Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10) so I'm actually still
using Evo 2.22.  I'm reading IMAP mail with Evo and Exchange mail with
Outlook running in Crossover, while swearing under my breath and
dreaming of the day I can switch back to Evo for everything.

At that point I guess I'll try junk filtering again and see if it works
any better with the MAPI backend.
