Well, now I'm confused too. You're right, that option definitely  
implies that Notes are stored in the IMAP acct without having to store  
them in the inbox. And now I see that if I ssh into my mail host I can:

cd ~/mail/birdhouse.org/shacker/.Notes/cur

and verify that there are the same number of note files there as I  
have saved. So it *appears* to be working as one would expect. But  
then... why is that IMAP account's Notes folder empty when checked  
from work? Mysterious...
