For whatever reason, uw-imapd treats your home directory as the INBOX
root... is your mail directory named "mail"? If so, try creating an
/etc/c-client.cf file and put the following in it:

I accept the risk for IMAP toolkit 4.1.
set mail-subdirectory mail

(If your mail directory is named something else, just change the thing
after "set mail-subdirectory")
