[MlMt] Junk folder gets messages when Sieve unchecked

So to recap (please correct any errors):
* There is a folder locally in MlMt called **Junk**; this same folder
does **not** exist on the Fastmail server.
* There is a folder on the Fastmail server called **Spam**; this same
folder does **not** exist locally in MlMt.
* SpamAssassin is running on the Fastmail side.
* The message in question was moved to the local **Junk** folder but
**not** the **Spam** folder on the Fastmail side.
* The message in question had header info that indicates it was
evaluated by SpamAssassin and also had a relatively high Spam score
(7.2).
If the above is accurate, then the next 2 things I would like to know
are:
* What happened to the message on the Fastmail side? Meaning in which
folder did it land?
* If you right-click on the local **Junk** folder and then goto
“Mailbox Type”, how is it mapped?
