I haven't used UW imapd 2000, but in the previous version, the path
would be "#mh", not "/mh#".

Also, in the older version, the MH folder support didn't work very
well, but maybe that's fixed in 2000.

You could use "Mail" as the path, to make it start from the Mail/
subdirectory instead of the top level of your homedir. But I don't
know if that will work by itself without the #mh hack.


If you do get this working, can you report back to the list so we know
what to tell the next person who asks?
