It sounds like a local Mailbox Junk got assigned the type of Junk (or
Spam got renamed locally) and it is mapped onto the standard (for that
server) mailbox Spam on the server. In other words, it is the same
mailbox (folder as you call them), just named differently locally and on
the server.

OK - so my assessment is pretty much in agreement with what Bill said
earlier…
The server side is moving the message to Spam. Then, on the MlMt
side, you see this move occur in the Spam folder and because you also
have a local Junk folder - also mapped as Junk - it will mirror
whatever is going on in the local-Spam folder. And actually what
happens in local-Junk should be mirrored in the local-Spam folder.
I’m not sure if just removing the local-Junk folder is fine -
probably should be but since I haven’t personally done that, I will
withhold any advice\comment. Perhaps others have done this and will
comment….

Okay. Here's what I see.
I have a Spam folder on Fastmail server. In MailMate its Type is
Junk.
I have a Junk folder in MailMate that is not on Fastmail server. In
MailMate its Type is Junk.
I now see identical messages in both folders. For some reason I
didn't before, but I think that had something to do with my
transition to Fastmail a few nights ago, importing from Tuffmail to
Fastmail while keeping Tuffmail online for a couple days.
But for now, both folders have the same messages in each and when I
delete a message in Spam, it is deleted in Junk. And if I delete in
Junk, it's deleted in Spam.
So it looks like I can just get rid of the Junk folder altogether
since Fastmail doesn't even see it. Correct?

So to recap (please correct any errors):
* There is a folder locally in MlMt called *Junk*; this same folder
does *not* exist on the Fastmail server.
* There is a folder on the Fastmail server called *Spam*; this same
folder does *not* exist locally in MlMt.
* SpamAssassin is running on the Fastmail side.
* The message in question was moved to the local *Junk* folder but
*not* the *Spam* folder on the Fastmail side.
* The message in question had header info that indicates it was
evaluated by SpamAssassin and also had a relatively high Spam score
(7.2).
If the above is accurate, then the next 2 things I would like to
know are:
* What happened to the message on the Fastmail side? Meaning in
which folder did it land?
* If you right-click on the local *Junk* folder and then goto
“Mailbox Type”, how is it mapped?
