    What is Spam Box?

    An email system's spam box, commonly referred to as the spam folder, is where incoming emails that are classified as spam or possibly damaging are immediately processed and kept. It acts as a protection to stop uninvited or doubtful emails from getting to the user's primary mailbox. The spam box assists in lowering the danger of viruses, phishing scams, and unwanted marketing emails. Users can frequently check the spam box's contents to make sure that no genuine messages have been wrongly classified as spam.

    What is Junk Folder?

    The "Junk" folder in Gmail is not a standard folder in the Gmail user interface. Instead of the more common term "Junk," Gmail prefers to use the term "Spam" to describe undesired or uncomfortable emails.

    An email is automatically sent to the "Spam" folder when Gmail's spam filters classify it as spam. Possible spam emails are saved outside of your main inbox in the Spam folder, which serves as a dedicated storage space. The effective spam filters in Gmail detect and remove spam emails using cutting-edge algorithms and machine-learning approaches.
