If it hasn't changed, the UoW default behaviour is to use mbox files stored under the user's home directory for IMAP folders. The INBOX folder is normally the user's mail spool file (ie. where the MTA puts the files). When I used it, I used procmail to store messages from mailing lists, into mbox files under the ~/imap/ directory, and I had the following setting in the server spec: (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" ("imap/" . "*"))) (I can't remember if the "imap/" showed up in the nnimap group name, but I think it did)
