Subject: Faster way to get back to INBOX?

Ok, I'm lazy.

After I go look at another mail folder, I want to go back to my INBOX..
Since I have a bunch of mail folders, it always seems tedious to arrow
back to my INBOX (though I admit it doesn't feel particularly tedious to
arrow to the other mailbox in the first place).

Basically, since INBOX is "special", is there a way to get back to INBOX
faster?  (i.e. 1 keypress?)   and/or would this be a good thing to do?
I guess it would have to be a preference, since pine is usually (always?)
not case-sensitive, but as something the geek user has to turn specifically
ON, I would suggest "I" to mean "go back to Index for INBOX".  and 'i' would
still go to the index of the current folder.

What I do, is to define in my configuration:

goto-default-rule                =
            (*)  inbox-or-folder-in-recent-collection

Anytime I need to go to my INBOX I press "g RETURN", and if I need to go
back to the place I was before I do the same again.

>back to the place I was before I do the same again.

woohoo.. I didn't even know about this..

            (*)  inbox-or-folder-in-first-collection
            ( )  first-collection-with-inbox-default

These two seem to work for me (in a VERY brief test).  i.e. "g<return>"
goes to INBOX.

            ( )  inbox-or-folder-in-recent-collection

ok, I must be confused -- I could swear the first time I tried this,
when I was at the main menu, g<return> went back to suspected_spam
(and it was the one listed in the brackets).

So I guess I oughta go read the help text for these options.

Basically -- thanks for the info about the goto command.  Way better
than the old "ml<return>arrows<return>" method.   I still think an
optional one-key-to-inbox (or maybe even a user-specified folder) might
be nice, but that is me *ADMITTEDLY* being a whiner.

Two keys is great!
