Yes, it is Outlook 2003. BUT, apparently it doesn't do this. All
spam mails (plenty!) just stay in the IMAP account's inbox.
Outlook's general "Private folders" contain a folder "Unwanted
emails", but this is empty.

It seems that I miss something in the settings, or how do I make it
work?

Do you have the IMAP account configured to download complete items?

By the way, how is it supposed to work? Should spam be downloaded to
the local junk email folder and then deleted on the mail server?

I believe that's how it should work, yes, but since I've never gotten any spam on my IMAP account, I can't test it.
