Configuring imap-uw difficulties

[Ryan Sandridge]

This is my first post so go easy on me :-)
I'm relatively new to the FreeBSD world, but I've seen enough to favor 
using the Ports collection over any other method.  I am running 
4.8-RELEASE #0.  I installed /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw using 'make 
install'.  After much confusion with OpenSSL, I finally got it working 
(correctly I think) with all the defaults.  Oh, imap-uw version is 
2002d,1.

My trouble is with changing some of the defaults.  Unless I'm missing 
something, all configuration is done through re-compiling rather than a 
configuration file.  Not my preference, but I can deal with that.  In 
particular I modify .../src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c to change the mail 
subdirectory name.

I thought after making this change, all I needed to do was '$ cd 
/usr/ports/mail/imap-uw' then type '$ make' to rebuild it with the 
changes.  But it seems to think it is up to date (so doesn't 
recompile).  So perhaps my confusion is really due to lack of 
understanding of the Ports system or of how to compile.

Thanks,
   Ryan
