Thabks for your answer I thought that pop3 client downloads everything from server to its local INBOX regardless it comes from inbox or spam or wherever Your solution could be better, that Sm users turn this feature on but Ididn't understand the next one " 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 ". I'm using maildrop. Thanks

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.
