Has it added any new options to the config file?
I have this problem on my email servers, they run redhat (no comment
either ;)) and as uuw-imapd by defaulot chucks the mails in the users
home directory, I hd to add a pacth to make them by default go innto:

$HOME/IMap

If I upgrade, wusing their up[2date service it completely kills my
options, so maybe there is something similar to this with you??

This looks like a debian-user related issue.  I don't know where to
begin to help you.

Given that I am copying debian-user on this email and hopefully someone
there might be able to help you also.
