I have the following spec:
      ...
incoming-folders="pine-faq-mail" filtered-incoming-mail/pine-faq-mail
      ...
incoming-archive-folders=pine-faq-mail sav-pine/pine-faq-mail
      ...

where filtered-incoming-mail is  in $HOME and sav-pine in $HOME/mail.
The folders in filtered-incoming-mail are maintained by procmail.
Hope this helps.

Rudolf

To conclude:

The setting 'incoming-archive-folders' holds a comma-separated (?) list of
pairs, the two values in a pair being separated by a blank.

The FIRST value in a pair is the NICKNAME of an incoming folder as specified
in the setting 'incoming-folders'.

Is this the only way??? Is it is, it should be pointed out the only help
for this setting!

The SECOND value in a pair is the name of the folder file relative to
~/mail, if a relative path is specified (or other ways of specifying a
folder are probably possible).

Thanks to Rudolf Kompf and Terry Gray for replying.
