I think we will go that route.
I keep coming back to the fact that mailx has been working just fine with this imap account for the past ten years or so. I agree that having to replace Mail/ (or whatever trails the servername) with INBOX in the code looks hacky (and I don't know how Gunnar discovered that it was the solution). But couldn't s-nail do what mailx does just for the sake of backward compatibility, as well as implementing the new more rational scheme?
