It works once under BSD, but subsequent accesses result in a "NO SELECT failed: Can't open mailbox (null): no such mailbox". I have to rm -R the ns_imap directory, then it works again - once. I haven't looked at this problem closely. Also, Messenger under BSD sends a LIST "" "*" to the IMAP server, recursively listing all files in your home directory (in my case, 150MB in 2300 files). This is annoying. Oddly, Messenger under Windows 95 sends a LIST "" "%", non-recusively listing files in the home directory. Why they need to list *any* files outside of what you specify as your mail directory is beyond me. ...But when IMAP does work, it works really well.
