So in practice no virus-infected email should ever reach you or your virus folder.

 +There is a little icon near the top of the screen, a little to the right of your email address, that looks like three dots, vertically stacked. (It looks like this **⋮** on devices with the right fonts.) Clicking on this will give you a pop-up menu from which you can click on Manage folders. Now you can enable or disable the folders you want to see, including the spam and virus folders.

 +To actually access mail in these folders, click on the Mail icon at the left, then on a folder.
