John,

	I read through some of the responses, seems to me that it might
be something with the way you compiled imap-uw.  I would go back and
recompile it to
look at the proper dirs.  Did you install this from a port?  And is
there any documentation with the port?  Maybe there is something in
there.  I know that with some products I download and just do a default
compile and install w/o editing stuff, they will look for things
in funky places.

	I know this is no kind of a real answer w/o looking at the imap-uw
stuff myself, but I hope it helps.

Good luck.
