[imp] accessing local mail store

This is more of a generic PHP IMAP question (with our intention of trying
it w/IMP)..  I realize that in the past, when people have access email
store locally on the machine, the answer has been "Set up an IMAP server
and connect to localhost.  IMP is an IMAP client".

Well... c-client supports accessing mailboxes on the local filesystem, and
PHP's IMAP module (and hence, IMP) seems to support all of c-client's
remote access protocols (POP, SPOP, SIMAP..).  I was wondering if it call
do the local ones?  Has anyone ever gotten PHP's IMAP stuff to open a
local mailfolder w/o talking to an imapd?
