Depends on how you symlink it. For example: cd /home/ron-mobile ln -s /home/ron/Maildir . Now /home/ron/ and /home/ron-mobile/ are identical, so everything will be again fetched. But then you could also do: cd /home/ron-mobile/Maildir ln -s /home/ron/Maildir .ron-inbox Now you have a folder called "ron-inbox" that contains the INBOX messages. And finally if you want to preserve the INBOX as INBOX without changing the name: cd /home/ron-mobile/Maildir ln -s /home/ron/Maildir/cur . ln -s /home/ron/Maildir/new . ln -s /home/ron/Maildir/tmp .
