Another posibility would be to run through all mailboxes and create the folder
if it doesn't exist... About every hour... At some point the user will stop to
deleting it... :-) 

If you use Sieve for delivering the SPAM-mails and the SPAM-folder doesn't
exist, it will go to the "Inbox"... I think this is OK.
