What is the difference between the EOP Quarantine and the Junk Folder? (link)

The EOP quarantine is the first line of defense in the email flow. Everything that EOP thinks might be spam will go to the quarantine. After that, the email flows to the W&L Exchange Email Server. If you have turned on Junk Mail filtering in Outlook, any email that Exchange thinks is spam will go to your Junk Folder within Outlook.

When user logs in to check their quarantine queue, they are unable to select a message. The error they receive is that the message does not exist in their queue and they are logged in as the wrong user. The error message suggests they log out and login again, but the problem remains. (link)

From:  DigiTar Support

This is usually caused by the following situation:

1.) The user is logged in as
a@b.com.
2.) In the user's inbox there are two digests, one for
a@b.com and one for c@b.com.
3.) The user is clicking on a message in the
c@b.com digest in their inbox which tries to link them into the Portal directly to that message.
4.) However, since they are logged in as
a@b.com, they have no rights to the message.

To remedy the situation they need to examine the subject line of the digest they are clicking on, and log into the Portal as the user specified in the subject of the digest.

I just got my "Spam Quarantine Notification" (EOP) and I'm the sender, what do I need to do? (link)

You don't need to do anything.  Someone has "spoofed" your account. 

Spoofing is when the sender address and other parts of the e-mail header have been altered to appear as thought the e-mail originated from you. 

If it had been actual spam from your account it would not go through EOP and appear in you notifications.
