Does this provider not have a spam mailbox as part of the IMAP account. 
Usually, registering spam is done just by moving emails to this mailbox 
in the IMAP client.

I believe so, but it's not straightforward (or documented). It requires 
a bundle with a command which tells MailMate what to do.

I've considered if a general Spam bundle could be useful. This could 
allow configuring an address for reporting spam and make a command 
available for easily doing this, but I'm not sure how useful this is in 
general. I'm not even sure regular users should be encouraged to report 
spam.
