MW only checks the mail presented to it by the server, that usually means only the mail in the In Box and not stuff the server has moved to other folders.

You may be able to set your server not to move mail around and that will let MW get to all of it and keep you from having the server tag good mail as spam too.

Correct in that MW is only checking the Inbox folder, the Junk folder used by MSN is different. You could also set your email program not to synchronise the Junk folder, so that those emails are never downloaded by the email program
