dovecot - Nov 2004 - Which is the imap root directory? Conflicting documentation...

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,

OOOrah

doc/ files are somewhat out of date. Try to use Wiki instead :) Mail 
indexes are in ~/mail/.imap/ directory, .subscriptions is supposed to 
be in ~/mail/ which could also be called the "imap root"..
