> cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw && make && make install

runs cd ...
if previous command succeeded runs make
if previous command succeeded runs make install

> cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw ; make ; make install

runs cd ...
runs make
runs make install

(regardless of previous success -- meaning the cd command could fail and
it would run make from whatever directory you are currently in)

> cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw && make install clean

runs cd ...
if previous command succeeded runs make install clean

(which will build the port, install it, and then clean out the working
directory)
