How can I see my spams perhaps they really comments?
-
Hallo, is it possible to see my spams in the trash? I think that I got some spams who are really comments and I haven´t found a way to see the spams, just in the waiting line. But often the spams went directly to the trash.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you go to the Comments page from your dashboard you’ll see one of the tabs at the top is labelled “Spam”. If you click on that you can see all Spam messages currently in the queue (they get deleted after a while – comments deleted from the spam folder don’t go in the trash but are deleted permanently). http://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-comments/
However, I can tell you that Akismet is pretty good at catching spam. It has caught over 3000 spam comment from my blog and only once did it catch a legitimate comment. I also checked my spam filter at first, but don’t anymore because the chances of a legitimate comment being caught in the spam filter is so small. I’ll only check if a reader informs me their comments on my site is not showing up.
This post by timethief gives a good explanation on spam and how Akismet filters it: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/05/20/mark-spam-as-spam/

Thank you very much for your help. My problem is, the spams went directly away, the are not in the “trash” or “spam” queue, I can´t see them. I just see the information: “Aksimet has protected……. aganist 21 spams”. And the day after “Aksimet has protected…….against 22 spams”. But the spam wasn´t in the trash or spam queue…… Is there another place I can see them?

Yes, some spam comments go directly to trash. I can assure you there aren’t real comments among those. Those are from sources that Akismet have confirmed as spam and are usually machine-generated comments. You really don’t have to worry about those.
You can learn more about how Akismet works directly from their website: http://akismet.com/
