Hi @WilliamQ
You can set one of the following preferences for Spam emails: Mark as Spam and deliver to Inbox, Put in Spam folder, or Delete Spam without delivering. See the link below for further assistance.

BenS1,
www.cox.com/.../cox-email-settings.html does not discuss retention.
What does "Unread message retention in Spam Folder  30 days" mean in
www.cox.com/.../cox-email-settings.html ?

Thanks for the link. Do you currently have a lot of old Spam messages in your spam folder? What is the oldest spam message that you have in your spam folder?
