IMAP configuration, as I have found it, is nonexistent. Either you allow it or not (though your inetd config) and you control access to the service (hosts.allow and hosts.deny, I suppose iptables as well).
It's essentially on or off. If I'm wrong, please tell me otherwise. I created a directory called MAIL off my user directory and it is where all my mail is stored, etc... In Sylpheed (my IMAP client) there is a configuration "IMAP server directory" which I type in "MAIL" and everything works. I believe Netscape has the same option.
