Hi,


I use Alpine 2.0 with a number of different imap providers and I may use
(identical) remote configurations on one of the different imap servers
(when I am in a different geographical location, out of speed
considerations). Alpine always assumes there is some main inbox. In my
setup, there is no natural single inbox, and I've configured the inboxes
of the different providers as different folders (named after the provider)
in my incoming collection.

So my question is: is there a way to eliminate/hide the INBOX folder from
my incoming collection?


TIA,

Erik

I don't think so - but I have

inbox-path=$HOME/Mail/emptyfile

and I don't bother with the main INBOX.
