You could switch to Mozilla Mail/News (or Minotaur) betas, which have
built-in Bayesian spam filters.  Or switch to GNUMail.app, which can
invoke SpamAssassin externally.  Or use Gnus (emacs console mailer).

My notes on MUAs[1] say some of the others support "filters", but you'd
have to find out in each case whether that suffices for your
spam-filtering needs:  Columba, Cronos II, CSCMail, EC, Evolution, flap,
Grendel, Ishmail, KMail, Mahogany, PMC, Polarbar Mailer, Pyne, Spruce,
Sylpheed, TkRat, TradeClient, XCmail, XFMail (open source); and jamail,
spaces, and UMT (proprietary).  (The foregoing list is X11 mailers only,
omitting console mailers.)

Odds are that setting those up for specifically catching spam would
require work:  If you're looking for a preconfigured solution (which is
likely), look for anything that can hook in a call to _procmail_ on mail
you're POPping.  If you can get to the incoming message stream with
procmail, then connecting SpamAssassin or BogoFilter is easy.

One way to do _that_ might be to fetch your mail bundles using fetchmail
rather than your MUA.  The same batch job that gets your mail would then
be able to pass it through a spam filtering program (SpamAssassin,
BogoFilter...).  Again, this isn't prepackaged, so might take some work,
sorry.

Me, I just do my spam-filtering right on the MTA host, which I can do
because it's _my_ host.  ;->
