The #mh namespaces refer to the MH mua, which uses a local message store 
in the user's home directory.  If the user uses MH, the #mh namespace can 
be used to access those folders via UW IMAPD.

The message about their not being a .mh_profile indicates that the user 
is not using MH.  Therefore the #mh namespaces don't apply to them, and 
nothing will show up under them.

Or perhaps they have carried across an old set of MH folders, but aren't 
actively using MH any more.  In that case, they might now have an 
.mh_profile file.  If this *is* the case, have them

   echo Path: Mail > ${HOME}/.mh_profile

and it should start working.  (Replace Mail with the path to their MH 
folder store if they don't use the default ${HOME}/Mail.)

http://www.nongnu.org/nmh/ is a good starting point for information on the 
current release of the MH mailer.
