Mozilla has the following in its Server Settings...Advanced dialog:
Server Directory: mailboxes/ Personal namespace: "#mh/","#mhinbox","" Other users: (blank)
It was crucial to have the trailing ',""' in Peronsal namespaces for this configuration to work. Other iterations of ~/mailboxes etc didn't cut it and I got messages from Mozilla like "Mailbox ~|mailboxes|Junk not found" when ~/mailboxes/Junk exists etc. But anyway now it is happy.

How can this configuration be specified from the client side, e.g. from the Mozilla server settings for the IMAP server?
Many client programs have a "root prefix" or "folder collections" setting. For example, in Outlook you would put in "mailboxes/" as the "root prefix", in Pine you could put in "mailboxes/[]" as your folder collection, etc.
I don't know how things work in Mozilla.
I want to avoid hardcoding the default subdir string in env_unix.c since each user may have a different subdir name (personal choice) and want to avoid server-side config files (admini headache.)
Now you know why UW imapd doesn't do it... :-)
