I am new to actually running dovecot.  I actually still use POP as I 
have for YEARS and thunderbird does not make it easy to convert to 
IMAP...
My server is moving all tagged spam into the IMAP spam folder. Very 
nice for the IMAP users, but not for the POP users.  Of course the 
server don't know, and the mysql database for users does not have 
any flags for this.  Don't want my server to fill up with spam from 
POP users that don't know to check via IMAP.
I am using roundcubemail for the webmail IMAP client.  Is there any 
way for POP users to indicate that they do not want spam so nicely 
auto moved to the IMAP spam folder?
Obviously I picked this up and did not think through the results. 
Seemed good at the time...
mkdir /home/sieve
cat <<EOF>/home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve || exit 1
require "fileinto";
  if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
          if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "NO" {
          } else {
          fileinto "Spam";
          stop;
      }
  }
  if header :contains "subject" ["***SPAM***"] {
    fileinto "Spam";
    stop;
  }
EOF
chown -R vmail:mail /home/sieve
============================================
So one option is just to disable this.  Another is to work out how 
each user can do this if they want...
You're already using roundcube, so just enable managesieve and the 
roundcube managesieve plugin, and let every user configure for 
themselves how to react to the X-Spam-Flag header.
You can drop in a few sieve scripts as suggestions and they can enable 
the one they like, or none, if they prefer to use their local mail 
client for sorting this out.
I was just figuring that out.  Kind of tossed everything into the sink 
and now I have to sort it out.

Let the IMAP users (most likely Roundcube) deal with it themselves and 
let the POP3 users continue to get their spam to eat.
