You need an existing INBOX for that if you want to login
automatically (into interactive mode that is ^.^).
Anything else should really just work fine.

Yes, that special treatment of *folder* for IMAP has to go, if you
have set it to a Maildir or directory with MBOXes then this
doesn't override $MAIL and "automatically `cd's to *folder*", too.
Stephen's idea was that of introducing a new *inbox* variable,
which overrides $MAIL if set, and which it is that will be opened
upon startup / `account' switch.  I think we will go that route.

Ciao!
