No luck, this version doesn't pull from the bulk mail folder:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gotmail-list/2003-12/msg00013.html

I call it using:
tmp_gotmail -c /home/wkearney/.hotmail/.gotmailrc-junk

the .gotmailrc-junk contains:

username=deleted
password=deleted
domain=hotmail.com

folder-dir=/home/wkearney/mail/hotmail/
folders=Junk Mail
retry-limit=3
silent
delete

This worked in the previous version.  I use this from cron to periodically
download the junk mail folder.  This to keep those danged virus and other 150k+
attachments from overrunning the mailbox size limits.  I then periodically purge
the local folder.
