You can contort the virtual plugin to fuse your user's INBOX and
spam box together into a virtual INBOX:

 	(See section "Virtual POP3 INBOX")

This turns the problem from a delivery problem into a reading (or
presentation) problem.

Seems sort of klunky though.  In my opinion, your energy is better
invested in converting your POP3 holdouts to IMAP.
