qmail style directories and imap

After haveing my mail server choke because my inbox was too big, I have
been investigating qmail type inboxes on my backup (read play) machine.
I set it up, and sent mail. Got the resulting files in test users home dir:

Maildir:
cur/ new/ tmp/

Maildir/cur:

Maildir/new:
1075583622.V3007I1e486.samkat

Maildir/tmp:

Now I am flailing with uwimap to get it to understand the new (world?)
order. In particular, I have the following to work with (from the docs:
  env_init() initialize c-client environment variables,
                         especially the user name and home directory
  sysinbox() return the UNIX path of the INBOX in which
                         mail delivery will place mail
  mailboxdir() translate a mailbox name into the associated
                         UNIX directory for listing
  mailboxfile() translate a mailbox name into the associated
                         UNIX file for opening
 

My first cut is to point mailboxdir() at ~/Maildir.
Anyone have any experience?

Thanks

Jim
