Ok. I couldn't find a mailbox_open that takes a list and char* as arguments, but I found a mail_namespace_find_inbox function which works well.

 Where do I specify the Destination mailbox in the config file? I have a source of INBOX(/var/spool). Should I just tack on SNARF on the var list?

namespace foo {
	prefix = ~~Snarf/
	location = mbox~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:SNARF=/some/other/file
	list = no
	hidden = yes
	inbox = yes
}

Thanks,
Jonathan
