positive and false positive) always be skipped?
I don't use Kmail, but when asking this kind of question it's very
important to at least say whether you access the account using POP or
IMAP. If it's POP then there's your answer. POP doesn't understand
server-side folders, including junk. If it's IMAP, have you subscribed
to the server-side junk folder?
In the meantime, as I was so upset about the near loss
of the important document (and the thought of what
else might have vanished in the past couple of years),
I disabled the ISP's spam control altogether.
I'd strongly advise you to reconsider. The ISPs spam control may be a
lot better than yours (though possibly it has to be trained, given your
experience), it works with the webmail as well as your local MUA, and
you don't want to be wasting bandwidth on spam when you don't have to.
