uw-imapd presents $HOME on the server as '/' to the IMAP client. If
your home directory is large, then you will see all those files and
directories being listed by your IMAP client and it may take a while.
uw-imapd treats the mailbox "INBOX" as /var/mail/$USER. Thus when you
tell the IMAP client to prefix all folder paths with INBOX, you only
see the inbox because that file on the server has no subdirectories
(naturally :-)). A typical client configuration for working with uw
is to set "Mail/" or "~/Mail/" (or some variation on that) as the path
to your folders. Doing this avoids cluttering $HOME with your mail
folders and avoids seeing files and directories unrelated to mail in
your IMAP client.
