I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox.
Use a symlink to your inbox, for example if your normal maildir is in ~/Maildir/ create:
mkdir ~/Maildir/mobile ln -s .. ~/Maildir/mobile/.INBOX
Then make the Maildir/mobile/ accessible. If your IMAP client supports configurable namespace prefix, you could create another namespace:
namespace private { prefix = mobile. location = maildir:~/Maildir/mobile list = no hidden = yes }
Or alternatively create another user account that only sees the INBOX.
