The junk mail folderhas a messagethat there are no message to display in the folder. This occurs with users that receive a lot of junk mail and those that receive nearly no junk mail. SBS 2003 SP2with Exchange 2003 SP2 and all updates. POP3 with IMF enabled for futuremigration.The only recient change is a new mail ISP that adds the word "spam" to suspected spam messages. TrendMicroWorry-Free Business Security 5.0; formerly TrendMicro Client Server scans mail for viruses only.Increaseing the exchange message store did not fix the problem. They need toreceive junk mailto get non-junk messages.

Check your IMF settings to insure its set not to Delete these messages. You can also turn on Message Tracking to see where the messages are going. It does sound like IMF is catching them though.MVP Exchange Server

Yes, please check the IMF setting as John suggested, and check the SMTP Virtual Server, ensure the function is applied

Also, please ensure that Junk Email Folder is enabled (More in this article)
Advanced troubleshooting:
Please verify whether IMF works for incoming messages by checking X-MS-Exchange-Organization-SCL header in the Internet header of messages
Notes: you can also use KB 895091 to check all incoming message more easily
Please check if theres any error info on the application log
Please raise up the diagnostic logging on MSExchangeMU, see if theres any error info on the application log
