I actually do have a couple more questions. If INBOX is in mbx format, will imapd use mbx for the creation of any additional mailboxes, or do I have to tweak the source to make the default creation format mbx? Other than setting the directory to ~/mail and setting imapd to use mbx format, are there any other compile-time tweaks you would recommend I consider to run a regular old imap server on OSX? I think that's all, but maybe I'm overlooking something. Thanks again.
