Umm...Take a look in the Manage Folders page of the Usermin Read Mail 
module.  (Hint: You're looking for "Add an IMAP mailbox as a folder".)

Jamie is, in fact, a one man army.

I have developed a module for the SpamBouncer and SpamBayes, which I 
should be releasing in the next week or two.  SpamAssassin was too big 
and too likely to return false positives for my needs (my module is 
intended for my clients, and missed emails are less OK than an 
occasional missed spam...Though I've found a well-trained SpamBayes 
alone is as good as SpamAssassin, with a tenth or less the number of 
false positives).  I may integrate SpamAssassin eventually, but it is 
way down the list in my plans.
