The location for storing unwanted e-mail as determined by a spam filter. Also called a "junk folder," spam folders are created by mail servers as well as the user's e-mail program. Messages in the user's spam folder are typically sorted by the spam filter's rating, which is a percentage of confidence that the message is unwanted. Messages with lower ratings, such as below 50%, can be reviewed more carefully to be sure they are not legitimate. See spam filter.
