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 .
