I've used Courier before; but that wasn't my question.  I'm not looking 
for different IMAP daemons that would do what I want; I'm looking for a 
method or backend process that would allow me to do it with UW-IMAP.

Well, thanks for the comments.  I am the only user.  I wish to have 
UW-IMAP remain as the service at the moment.
