I'm not sure I follow you. I want _some_ of my home directory, of course,
to be more precise everything in the sub directory specified in the
"Prefix" field of "IMAP folder properties".

In any case, it seems like I can't make this kind of changes without
updating the server source code, and if I'm going to do that, I'll probably
update the "mailbox directory" code instead.

The problem seems to be that there is no <prefix>/INBOX (or
<prefix>/#public etc., for that matter.) I think perhaps the IMAP folder
code needs to search for special names separately - but if it does, the
term "Remote IMAP folder" is no longer correct, of course.
