Exactly, I'd always used that procedure (S then ^T them select INBOX in
Folder-Collection <Incoming-Folders>)

Not that I have to do it often. Usually I save FROM inbox to a project or 
topic specific  folder. Keep inbox rather empty. I do not need to save 
"back" TO inbox, unless it is to recover some false positive from a spam 
folder.

Then when I repeat a Save, it proposes me INBOX as default choice (or I 
can navigate the history with up- or down-arrow (and the ^P ^N to 
previous or next collection) and it works

The G (goto folder) also proposes INBOX, or one can use ^W.

I never TYPE the actual word INBOX, but I can access it satisfactoerily as 
quick as I might desire.

Not sure whether that depends from my patched Alpine version, or from the 
fact I have several Incoming-Folders, anyhow I'm happy with the behaviour.
