With IMAP, the "INBOX" folder is special, and can be in a different
location that the rest of the IMAP folders.

My response was aimed at configuring a mail server to work with AFS in a
large environment, where everyone was using AFS.  If you're just trying to
grab mail from a remote mail server, then I admit fetchmail is probably
what you want to use.

Incidentally, fetchmail didn't crash on me.

$ fetchmail --version
This is fetchmail release 5.1.0
SunOS ismene 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc
