I would go back and recompile it to look at the proper dirs. Did you install this from a port? And is there any documentation with the port? Maybe there is something in there. I know that with some products I download and just do a default compile and install w/o editing stuff, they will look for things in funky places. I know this is no kind of a real answer w/o looking at the imap-uw stuff myself, but I hope it helps. Good luck.
