Why a junk and a spam folder in Hotmail on the Galaxy S6

[AC Question]

When I get emails that are categorised as junk they go into my Junk folder on my desktop which is towards the top of the folders list and easy to get to.

On my Galaxy S6 they are also put in to the junk folder but this is way down in the folders list and needs a lot of scrolling. There is a Spam folder in the Galaxy, where I would have expected the junk folder to be, which doesn't appear to do anything.

Is there a way of moving the junk folder up to where the spam one is.?

Welcome to Android Central! You're probably using an IMAP server for your email provider, which syncs the folder structure. If Hotmail is using a Junk folder, then that's what the phone's Email app will use as well. The Spam folder might be something specific to the Samsung email app, but I doubt you can merge those two folders.
