Go to Settings-> Configure Filters and see if you have any filters installed for 
you. IIRC Kmail automatically has spam filters.  If you do have filters, I 
wouldn't delete them, as to some extent the spam filters can be trained.

To see if Kmail is filtering the messages in Trash as spam enable the Spam/Ham 
column in your list of messages, by right clicking on the 
"Subject/Sender/Date/Whatever" bar above the list of messages and enabling  
Spam/Ham.  You may have to drag the columns about to see the new column.

If the messages in your Trash folder have been classified as spam they will 
have an Icon with  a trash can and a letter going into it (at least in the KDE 
4.2 I'm using) in the Spam/Ham column.  Normal messages will have the same 
icon but grayed out (actually light green for me). If the messages are in fact 
not spam and they are marked as spam you can rightclick on the message and 
choose Apply Filter and choose Filter Classify as not Spam, and then drag the 
mail back to your inbox.

Hope this helps
