Do you think this is the cause of the problem? The checkpassword 
interface
does not mention the unqualified argument, and it's somewhat quirky to
have to add support for it. I could add an exception to the command line
parser, but I'd have to know that this would indeed solve this problem.

I think that binc should align with qmail-pop3d (NOT checkpassword), whose 
interface is:
     qmail-pop3d maildirname
That is, I think that the 'path = "Maildir"' should be removed from the 
config file and made to be the first unqualified argument to bincimapd 
(just liek qmail-pop3d).  This will enable checkvpw, and any other 
checkpassword programs rewrite their arguments to get qmail-pop3d to look 
in the correct directory, to work.

Did anyone try to debug bincimapd and see where it exits 111?

Running bincimapd (with --logtype=multilog) did not give me any indication 
(which I was expecting) of the location of the problem.  I did not 
investigate further.

The idea of using a wrapper does appeal more to me; it would take the
maildir argument and have it rewritten, then pass its value as argument 
to
bincimapd.

This is already done by checkvpw, but I don't know how smart/dumb it is.  
That is, I don't know if 'bincimapd --depot=Maildir' will work with 
checkvpw.

Hm, the short command line arguments must be updated in the man pages.

To set the depot path, use -d or --depot=.
Then how do you disable starttls, which is currently:
     -d, --disable-starttls
To set the create-inbox flag, use -C or --create-inbox=.
In this case, setting the mailbox path is the same as before; -m or
--mailbox-path=.
