Hi Ryan,

I thought I'd jump in on this since it gives me a good reason to learn a little
more about how IMAP works. ;-)

I logged in via telnet to my test system and determined (with some help
from the IMAP4 RFC) that the command being executed is 

LIST "" *

Since the UW IMAP server logs the user into their system account I can only
assume that this drops them into their home directory. If I execute the
requested command it will return nothing unless a Mail directory exists in the
users subdirectory. (I have one user setup this way from earlier tests and one
without the directory.) 

Executing the command LIST Mail * returns the same as LIST ~/Mail * for the
user with a Mail directory. 

I will attempt to do some checking on the functionality of the .imaprc file that
is sort of documented and see if this can be used to work past the problem.
