I always thought it was configurable to do do that... uw's cclient library
can read a bunch of different format mailboxes so I figured uw-imapd would
be able to read them, it is after all just another mailbox. I remember
seeing, once, something somewhere about a massive number of configuration
options available for uw-imap. I always just figured that changing the
mailbox format was one of them.
