I'm certainly no expert, but the imap-uw installs I've done all
come up this way. With imap clients, you can retrieve new mail as
it drops into /var/mail/username and can then move it to your home
mail folders if you wish, pretty closely matching what local mua's
do.

Or have I completely missed the boat here?
