So I'm using Dovecot now and its working for checking my inbox 
/var/mail/<user> but with wu-imap it would by default check folder under 
/home/<user>/ and if a prefix was set /home/<user>/<prefix>. I can't 
figure out how to make Dovecot use /home as the base dir for folders.  
Looks like;

default_mail_env =

but whats the syntax for the home dir behavior?
