This isn't the answer I need.

The question was where do you configure (on the server) where the IMAP 
folders are created.

On a Qube2700WG IMAP folders were created by default in a users home 
directory.  After installing a new disk (created with an OS Restore) and 
applying the patches it wanted to have IMAP folders in a subdirectory of 
a users home directory.  I discovered this after I restored the user 
directories and the IMAP folders didn't work.

Now, for some unkown reason, a new account will get a subdirectory called 
Mail? and IMAP folders will be created in that directory.  The problem is 
Windows doesn't like a folder called Mail? when the users home directory 
is accessed via SAMBA.

Something has gone astray.

I need to know what config file controls imapd.

Cheers,  Malcolm
