+You can specify a different folder to be your primary folder by
+modifying one or more of @acronym{IMAIL}'s variables. The simplest way
+to do this is to change the variable @code{imail-primary-folder} to
+contain the @acronym{URL} of the folder that you wish to be your primary
+folder. Normally @code{imail-primary-folder} is @code{#f}, in which
+case the primary folder has the form

+where @var{user-id} is the value of the variable
+@code{imail-default-user-id}, @var{server} is the value of

+@code{imail-default-imap-mailbox}. @code{imail-default-user-id} may be

+In addition to the primary folder, you can also have other folders and
+edit them with @acronym{IMAIL}. You can move messages into them with
explicit @acronym{IMAIL} commands.@footnote{While Emacs Rmail
additionally supports the ability to retrieve mail from ``system

To run @acronym{IMAIL} on a folder other than your primary folder, you
