[Dovecot] Using custom Maildir subfolders with pop3 deliveri
Greetings, I am trying to make my antispam protection on user basis. So I need something like .junkmail folder in every user maildir. But the problem I am having is that my mail client can not download mail put in .junkmail folder. I am usin POP3 only, Maildir mailboxes (default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%u) and whether I make folder with leadin dot or not it is never shown in mail client. Sincerely I don`t even know if it is posible with POP3, but it would be very hard converting to IMAP at this moment. Thanks in advance.

You can not serve multiple folders in one POP3 account, but there a several possible ways to access your spam folder:
Switch to IMAP.
Tag the mails on the server and let the client do the sorting i.e. add a header like "X-Spamcheck: SPAM" on the server and create a rule to put these mails into a specific folder on your client.
Use IMAP via a webmail frontend to access your spam folder.
Create a second pop account for your spam folder.
Probably 2 is the easiest for you, if you cannot switch to IMAP.
