Use a symlink to your inbox, for example if your normal maildir is in ~/Maildir/ create: mkdir ~/Maildir/mobile ln -s .. ~/Maildir/mobile/.INBOX Then make the Maildir/mobile/ accessible. If your IMAP client supports configurable namespace prefix, you could create another namespace: namespace private { prefix = mobile. location = maildir:~/Maildir/mobile list = no hidden = yes } Or alternatively create another user account that only sees the INBOX.
