Thanks very much for your help in your reply, Hendrik. The weird quoting
does make it a bit difficult to parse, but I get the idea! <g>

I definitely didn't install with all those options, so I've got some
recompiling to do. And one option gives me slight pause: when I went on
my desperate search for IMAP, the one I found was a Beta of IMAP 2001,
which I assume is probably OK. But when I provided the path, after much
fiddling I just specified /usr/src, which seemed to work. Did I
accidentally point to the wrong IMAP? It seems to be working!
