According to a post to this list back in april :

Except when I try to do create #driver.mix/INBOX I am told that a mailbox
called INBOX already exists, so it can't create one. The same error is
returned by mailutil

Is there another way to create a mix-format INBOX that alpine and/or
ipop3d/imapd will snarf new mail to ?
