Well, smarty, in fact when I upgraded, apt removed imapd and replaced it with cyrus-imapd. After determining that cyrus was not what I wanted, I simply rebuilt and reinstalled the package I was familiar with.
The config file is well commented, but not matter how I spelled out the path for mail boxes it always wanted to use /var/mail as opposed to /var/spool/mail/ which seems more logical in general.
