The spam folder is the storage space in your email account for unwanted emails or for emails that fail to reach your inbox and are flagged as spam by email service providers (ESPs). It is also known as the "Bulk Folder" or "Junk Folder".
These filtering systems are created to help users decrease the amount of unnecessary and promotional emails that they receive.

When you send a message, email service providers (ESPs) look at the reputation of your email address and the content of the email message. If any aspects appear suspicious, ESPs automatically block your email from reaching the targeted inbox. Receivers are also able to flag an email as spam.
Sign in to your Gmail account
Under the "Categories" section, click on "More."
