How to ignore Inbox with IMAP?

1 replies · 2,242 views · Started 07 April 2007

So I make heavy use of IMAP folders using Maildir folders.

The main Inbox folder is of no interest to me but all folders underneath it are so how can I not subscribe to Inbox but still subscribe to everything underneath it?

Inbox is the folder at ~/Maildir where as other folders of interest are at

~/Maildir/.INBOX.foldername

so it's the cur/new folders at ~/Maildir that hold the mail for Inbox

typically all incoming mail passes thur a perlscript and gets put into a ~/Maildir/.INBOX.foldername style folder but some mail that doesn't
go into Perlscript ends up via exim in the mail Inbox and I don't want to
see those messages on my phone.
