If it does not exist the message is not saved to it. This allows  
people who wsnt spam in a seperate folder to have it without forcing  
that on everyone.

This is NOT right, because  if  someone  EMPTY  its  spamfolder,  it  is
automaticaly removed, which mean, the next time SPAM arrives it  is  not
more saved to the folder a user expect...

In fact, it will fail if Mail does not exist, which is quite common  
since user's inboxes are in /var/mail/

Not realy, since ~/Mail or ~/Maildir/{tmp,cur,new} are normaly installed
through /etc/skel/ by the sysadmin  and  IF  the  sysadmin  consider  to
install courier-imap  and  the  USERS  have  SHELL  access,  mostly  the
Sysadmin install ~/Maildir/ which is the default  location  for  courier
since coirier can not handel "mailbox" under /var/mail/.
