I think it's less "it's a dumb IMAP server" and more "it's a dumb email
client that doesn't let you set your mailbox path" (netscape calls it the
"mail server directory").
Or the user does't realize such things are possible :)

Compiling it from the source distribution does that. The Debian package
is fairly FHS compliant (I'm using courier-imap-1.2 from unstable,
compiled many moons ago on a potato system).

IMAP, in this case).
