Actually, it's a function of what the IMAP server (uw-imap in this case)
considers to be INBOX. I've found prefix paths to be unpredictable and
semi-functional with most server/client combinations I've tried
(admittedly didn't try kmail or pine). In any case it's a kludge based
on a feature of IMAP rather than the way it 'should work'.

I probably should have been clear that what irks me about uw-imap is
that INBOX =3D=3D $HOME by default and unless you kludge around it or
recompile you're stuck with that.
