I have a user who has a bad habit of deleting his spam folder. This causes his junk mail to start backing up in the mail queue until I notice and fix it.

I have hundreds of users with the same disability ;-)

You will note that the Courier-IMAP server implements access control lists. Therefore, it would be a trivial matter to run a script that turns off the delete-folder ACL on everyone's spam folder, thus preventing the luser from deleting it.

Of course, with an ACL-capable IMAP client the luser will be able to reset the ACL; however if the luser knows how to set ACLs, the luser is not likely to be the kind that deletes the spam folder.
