Copying of a message into Inbox invokes unix_copy (there is no mbox_copy) which doesn't know about mbox being the inbox so the message gets appended to /var/spool/mail/username.

An mbox_copy() wouldn't help; unlike append, the driver method call for copy is selected by the source mailbox rather than the target. Put another way, an mbox_copy() would only be called if the source mailbox is INBOX -- and then it would have to do the same actions as unix_copy().

However, what can be done is make unix_copy() recognize the case of the target being INBOX and testing for mbox. Please see if the following patch to unix.c does the trick.
