So, which is the imap root directory? I am getting conflicting definitions from the documentation (copied below)...

------------------------
mbox storage requires detecting INBOX location and IMAP root directory. If
MAIL environment points to file (+rw) it's treated as the INBOX file. If it
points to directory (+rwx) which contains .imap/ (+rwx), inbox (+rw) or
mbox (+rw) it's treated as IMAP root directory. If INBOX isn't known,
imap_root/inbox file is used by default. If root directory isn't known, we
try to find it from /, ~/mail or ~/Mail.


Files created by Dovecot
------------------------

.subscriptions: One folder per line listing subscribed IMAP folders.
There's only one of these files in the root mail directory (~/Maildir/ or
~/mail/.imap/).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My .subscription file is located in ~/mail/ but the documentation states only one should be in ~/mail/.imap/  !!!!

Thanks,
