Andreas,

I had a look at the files, and I think the information is sort of present in the CONFIG
file in the "docs" folder.

As I recall, in the unpatched state, on Linux, UW-IMAP assumes an INBOX in
/var/spool/mail, and other folders are by default in the users home directory, ie for
Linux something like /home/allenjo/ if allenjo is my username.

Following the instructions in CONFIG, I patched my system and compiled it to use mbx
format, with the INBOX and all other folders in /home/allenjo/Mail/. This worked fine for
several years, until I switched to maildir and Dovecot.
