An IMAP server normally should have a junk mailbox. Whether it is called 
junk, spam, or else depends on the server. Have you checked in the 
sources the mailbox types for the source mailboxes? It is an item in the 
popup menu when you right-click on one of the folders in a source. You 
should have a mailbox for each of the special types set. You may want to 
first check your subscription to see whether by accident some mailboxes 
are not subscribed to.
