There are a few possibilities..
1) You could set !RealMails/INBOX so that saving to virtual inbox gets
saved to real inbox (similar to as explained in wiki).
2) Enable virtual INBOX only for IMAP protocol.

Yes, either create a virtual mailbox containing only RealMails/INBOX
rule, or alternatively create some kind of a symlink to filesystem (e.g.
ln -s . .real-inbox

NAMESPACE_1_INBOX=yes maps to first namespace { inbox=yes }, _2_ maps to
second namespace. With v2.0 this is clearer, because you can name the
namespaces and access them via names rather than numbers.

In post-login scripts you have access to $HOME.
