If you can change the imap server please do it. wuimap is not very 
good (performance and feature wise). choose dovecot as Anne sugested, 
easy to install easy to maintain and ways ahead of uwimap (and if you 
want to frustrate yourself try cyrus imap;-) ). I am not sure that 
uwimap supports home area.
