Eudora 6.2.3. System 10.4.8.
Experts running my mail server now require that I use IMAP mail
protocol. Ever since I made the required changes to my Eudora settings,
I have one incoming mailbox named IN (as I always used to have) and
another one named INBOX. Sometimes incoming mail goes to In, and
sometimes it goes to Inbox.
At first, when I closed the Inbox, I could not find it; I had to wait
until another incoming message opened the Inbox. Then I found the
<<Dominant<< mailbox down at the end of my Mailboxes list and saw that
<<Dominant>> has the Inbox, as well as its own Junk, Trash, and
numerous other mailboxes. Once I found Inbox, I put its icon in the
tool bar so I can open it when I want to.
Ever since I changed settings, all of my junk mail goes into the Junk
mailbox of <<Dominant>> and no junk seems to go into the Junk mailbox
associated with the In box.
When I try to open messages in Inbox, I get a brief message "This
message will be fetched from the remote server."

Is this situation normal and proper?
Any way to avoid having two boxes for incoming mail?
Thanks.
