You should be able to send to, for example, ryo@localhost, although you
won't be able to just use "ryo" as an email address.  I can probably
change this in future versions though.

On my todo list, and will probably be available in 0.9.

There's an extension to IMAP called NAMESPACE where rootdirs can be
auto-detected, that I wasn't even aware of until recently.  So this
will be fixed possibly in the next 0.8 release, definitely in 0.9.
