That's the server I was running too. The basic problem is that the UW
server can't handle transferring messages to different types of mail boxes.
So if I have an "Inbox" that is in Maildir format and I create sub-folders
(which are created in Mailbox format) the server won't let you copy stuff
from the "inbox" to your sub-folders. If you check the archives this was
discussed sometime in the last 3-4 weeks (look for messages in the thread
"getting maildir + imap working").
