I don't understand why, since we build Alpine all the time on Mac OS X 
10.4.8.

To change it the default mailbox that is opened, from the Main Menu, do 
"S" (Setup) then "C" (Configure).  Scroll down to inbox-path.

To see what you can put in the inbox-path, from the Main Menu, do "?" then 
select Folders, then Explanation of Valid Folder Names.

You probably want something like:
 	inbox-path = {myserver.example.com:1234}INBOX
