Hopefully, someone can please help me out. Spam keeps arriving in my Inbox, not my Spam folder, how do I get my Spam directly into my Spam folder, without them going into my Inbox? Thanks for any help.

Hi,
      Thanks for your reply back to me. Not sure what you mean by defined my "spam" folder in AquaMail. I am not sure if I have done that or not. How do I do that? It does have Spam in my list of folders. I did Long press on my account name, but Options and folders, did not show up. Thanks for any help back.

Account list? When I Long press on my account name, just shows up, my email address, & to log out. Screen shot, I am not sure how to do that.

 POP3 mode, am using. My server name is longlines.com.

POP3 doesn't allow to do anything with folders.
If your server is capable,  use IMAP instead.
You cannot change that in the existing account settings. You'd have to setup a new IMAP-based account in Aquamail, and then delete the old one.

Thanks for the info, not sure how to change it, from POP3 to IMAP-based account in AquaMail. I will contact my server. I just wish that AquaMail would use POP3 too, not just only IMAP-based account.

Aquamail does fully support POP3.
It is the limitation of POP3 protocol that doesn't allow any mail client to access any folders on the server (except the "Inbox"). POP3 protocol is older than IMAP, and by far inferior.

As I wrote above, - just create a new account in Aquamail with the same credentials, but choose IMAP option in the beginning.
And your mail provider does support IMAP.
For the IMAP settings see here:
If Aquamail will not be able to determine the server settings by itself, press on "Manual", and enter the settings according to what suggested by your provider:
http://support.hyperoffice.com/index.php/en/email-plus/calendar/136-faq/faq-email-plus/471-what-are-the-mail-server-settings
Incoming mail: (IMAP) Server name: imap.securedurl.com    SSL/TLS, Port: 993
Outgoing mail: (SMTP) Server name: smtp.securedurl.com       SSL/TLS,  Port: 465

After you finish setting it up, you can remove your existing POP3-based account in Aquamail.
And, please, don't hesitate to read the FAQ, - it has lots of helpful information:

I cannot find how to change the POP3 to IMAP, I have tried, with no luck, not sure where to click on, to change it. How do I do that?

You need to read carefully what people write to you.

Knowing that I am a pest, I am very sorry about that, & I have read what was written, in all of the posts. But when I look for my account, to add a new account, then when added, delete my old account, I can not find my account. When I click on my picture icon, just log out is on it.
        Thanks!

I don't know what has happened there to the account that you've set.
If I understand correctly, - now, you have no account set in Aquamail. Right?

But I do not understand what you mean by "my picture icon".
And there is no "logout" in Aquamail that I know off.

I suspect that you might be in the wrong place. (I fear, but I hope you haven't deleted the actual e-mail account with your provider.)
Adding and removing accounts for Aquamail -- all happen within the app itself.
So, you open Aquamail app, and if you see no accounts in it, - you press on the three dots (top right corner) and  choose "Add an account".
 -> choose Internet mail ->  Enter your credentials, then click on "Manual" ->
 choose "IMAP",  and then continue using the settings outlined in my previous post.

 POP3 mode, am using. My server name is longlines.com.
Yes,  Account list (... it is AquaMail's 'main window')
> long press on Account name > will show the Account settings window > see [screenshot 1]below

Are you able to bring up this screen?
> if so, then please choose "Account setup" > MANUAL > on the next screen you can check if this account is configured as IMAP: Server type  IMAP
> see [screenshot 2]

This is just to check if we are both 'on the same side'...
