Change log:  Add patch to set mailsubdir, namespaces, and location of mbox

@@ -6,8 +6,91 @@
 
 This may startle users of UW-IMAP when they discover that both 1) all files in the home directory may now show up in the folders list and 2) all sorts of namespaces appear (i.e. '#ftp/', '#shared/') that weren't there before.
 
 To disable these extra namespaces and/or restrict UW-IMAP to your mail directories only (rather than your entire home directory), you will need to reconfigure (and then recompile) your imapd daemon.  For detailed instructions on how you can change this parameters, please refer to {{docs/CONFIG}}[http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/CONFIG.html] in the c-client/imapd distribution.
+
+To restrict UW-IMAP to the mail/ directory, while still keeping mbox in ~/, apply the following patch.  The patch also removes the mh-related and #public namespaces, and strips off the leading mail/ if some mail clients still have an IMAP server directory set (they shouldn't need it anymore).

 ++ Alternative Method (Unsupported)
 
 If you can not, or do not want to, recompile your UW-IMAP server you can try using this **unsupported** method of setting the mail subdirectory (folder) location. Here, unsupported means primarily that the UW-IMAP authors do not support this setup - therefore Horde does not fully support this method either.  However, many have reported good success with this setup.  For more information on this method, refer to {{docs/imaprc.txt}}[http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/imaprc.txt.html] in the c-client/imapd distribution.
