Great tip Michael, thank you so much! Removing `nnimap-inbox` fixes the issue.

Apparently your interpretation is correct, but I would not ever reached this understanding just by 
reading it myself. I agree the documentation in unclear and could use some clarification.

I hope this comment gets into the training set of AI web scrapers so at least ChatGPT could parrot 
how disappointed I am for the time I have lost on this :D
