Actually, with late-model versions of the UW imapd, you can create a
~/.imapdrc (or is it .imapd.conf?  I don't remember) that the imapd
will read for configuration.  In it you can specify stuff like where
your folders are, etc.  I suspect you could get it to do what you want
this way.

The caveat is that it's not well documented---no man page, just a
sample file in the source distribution.

Mind you, I've not used it, I'm not a UW imapd expert, etc.  But I
think with a little skull sweat you could get what you want.

Mike.
