I never meant +newbox to stay around at all, it's supposed to move
to +inbox once the inc alias I provided was used.

But then again, from some of the replies I've seen, I see where my
method lacks in some ways.  I like the checkCommand method but don't
have a clue of how to use it.  For the one who mentioned it, is the
following the correct usage?

	xbiff*checkcommand: /homedir/user/bin/mycheckcommand
