Gene,

if you are using IMAP, you can use the "folder foo" rcfile argument (or
--folder foo) on the command line, and you can specify several of them
per account.

Depending on the server's namespaces, you may need to use a prefix for
the spam folder. On some servers, it might be called Spam, on other
servers, it might be INBOX.Spam. Check the server operator's instructions.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Matthias
