For a Windows IMAP server, Hamster beats Mercury hands down, but I 
really wanted something:

a) more Unix like
b) more silent and invisible
c) more prone to let me point to any directory

Hamster only works with folders inside its own directory. Sure, I can 
have Exim or Procmail store mail there, but I want to keep everything 
inside my Cygwin directory structure, and my mail in my $HOME 
directory.

But I am having two problems with UW imapd:

1: It's not "silent and invisible" enough. It won't disconnect from 
the terminal, say, like Exim, so you always have that useless console 
window hanging about. It therefore fails requirement B.

2: I still haven't been able to make it work. Not too easy. Way to  
pass requirement A!  :-)
