It's supposed to catch spam (Read: Unwanted) e-mails and throw them in there so they don't clutter your real inbox.  It's not a perfect science by any means, and every e-mail program/provider likely uses different types of spam filtering.  Some, you can set up yourself, some will learn what is and is not spam over time.

It's just a way to filter junk mail.

My junk mail (viagra, drugs, and so on) box. As I'm using thunderbird and gmail, my inbox doesn't know anymore what is a spam !

And I'm using the internet since 1997...
