No it doesn't, unless your local spam filter isn't working. You haven't
said what mail protocol you're using, though for a Hotmail account I
assume it's POP. In which case all of your mail is coming into your On
This Computer folder unless your input filters move it somewhere else
(which is what the spam filters do of course). Note that you can
configure the (local) spam filter to pay attention to the spam
indication coming from the server.
