Another alternative may be to start spamd (spamassassin daemon) for the
non root user serving request via unix socket.

* Spamd do not have to be run as root
* Spamd can listen on unix socket
* Spamd can be configured via command line options to accept requests
  for learning

* there is Mail::SpamAssassin::Client perl module for perl script to
  contact spamd "like spamc"
* there is Mail::IMAP::Simple perl module to access IMAP mailboxes

Such approach would allow "fetch one, learn one delete one" instead of
"fetch all, learn all, delete all".
