I don't think your users would appreciate having POP3 serve their Spam
folders instead of their INBOX.  You would still need some way of the
client indicating which folder you wish to access.  Any attempt to add
that to the POP3 protocol would be an ugly, non-standard hack and it would
be completely pointless since there's this wonderful (albeit complex)
standard called IMAP that fully supports the concept of folders.

Unless your willing to modify the Courier source yourself, I'd give up on
this idea, it's been brought up and shot down many times before.

I just responded to your thread on the Squirrelmail-users list.  Your best
solution IMHO, is to *NOT* filter mail into a Spam folder by default. 
IMAP and/or Squirrelmail users can easily turn this feature on while POP3
users have no method of turning it off.  Configure your Local Delivery
Agent (maildrop, procmail, whathaveyou) to check for the existance of a
runamavis file and a filterspam before running amavis or moving spam
message to a spam folder.
