IMAP configuration, as I have found it, is nonexistent. Either you allow it or not
(though your inetd config) and you control access to the service (hosts.allow and
hosts.deny, I suppose iptables as well).
It's essentially on or off. If I'm wrong, please tell me otherwise. I created a
directory called MAIL off my user directory and it is where all my mail is stored,
etc... In Sylpheed (my IMAP client) there is a configuration "IMAP server directory"
which I type in "MAIL" and everything works. I believe Netscape has the same option.
