It does. You need to edit your dovecot.conf file to set that up:

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

Note that this changes the root of the hierarchy visible to the client. 
UW-IMAP rooted the tree at one's home directory. This config roots it at 
~/mail. So your client config may need to change to match.

Unknown, as I use Mulberry. But be sure to download the newer RPM from 
Fedora Development. It has quite a few bug fixes.
