This is from the pine manual, the syntax seems similar so maybe it'll
work.
_inbox-path_
This specifies the name of the folder to use for the _INBOX_.
By default this is unset and the system's default is used. The
most common reason for setting this is to open an IMAP mailbox
for the _INBOX_. For example, _{imap5.u.example.edu}inbox_ will
open the user's standard _INBOX_ on the mail server, _imap5_.
set spoolfile={dmgray@external-imap-server-name}INBOX
Also make sure you can telnet to the imap port (143) and get a response,
maybe it's being a smart alec and bypassing if it's localhost.
