If I have an account on somemachine.com, and my mail spool is
/var/mail/sb, and my home directory is /home/sb, and I set the "IMAP
server directory" to "imap", then "INBOX" in Netscape mail will be
somemachine.com:/var/mail/sb, 

All other IMAP mail folders I have on somemachine.com will reside
under somemachine.com:/home/sb/imap.

This is assuming a UoW server with the default configuration.

The problem with UoW is that it assumes that everything in the home
directory is mail folders, so you have to add some extra path
information to restrict it.
