uw-imapd presents $HOME on the server as '/' to the IMAP client. If your home directory is large, then you will see all those files and directories being listed by your IMAP client and it may take a while. uw-imapd treats the mailbox "INBOX" as /var/mail/$USER. Thus when you tell the IMAP client to prefix all folder paths with INBOX, you only see the inbox because that file on the server has no subdirectories (naturally :-)). A typical client configuration for working with uw is to set "Mail/" or "~/Mail/" (or some variation on that) as the path to your folders. Doing this avoids cluttering $HOME with your mail folders and avoids seeing files and directories unrelated to mail in your IMAP client.
