[Alpine-info] How to move message _TO_ INBOX from another folder

Hi,

my incoming messages are filtered and saved to different folders.
Sometimes I need to manually move a message from a folder back to INBOX
(e.g., spam filter made a mistake etc.). In pine, it was possible to use
the S(ave) command and answer "INBOX" on a question

SAVE Msg #... to folder [saved-messages] : INBOX

In alpine, this does not work. After I type "INBOX", the program asks:

Folder "INBOX" doesn't exist. Create?

Is there a way to save messages from other folders, to INBOX?

I am using alpine locally on a mail server so the inbox is
/var/spool/mail/<user>

The above file belongs to <user>, and is writable by <user>.

Thanks,
Igor
