Inbox on Evolution in a wacky setup

Hi,
I'm ssh tunneling my mail on one server thusly:
sudo ssh -C -c blowfish -L 143:localhost:143 -L 143:localhost:25 \
-l user server.com -N -f
and then I have a second account I check, using Evolution (to keep work
and home email separate) by forwarding to a high port:
sudo ssh -C -c blowfish -L 9999:localhost:143 -L 9998:localhost:25 \
-l user server.com -N -f
I set evolution to look at localhost:9999 and localhost:9998 for
incoming/outgoing mail. It works GREAT.
EXCEPT that Evolution is looking for my INBOX in the wrong place, so I
see the contents of ALL mail folders *but* the INBOX. It shows me,
correctly, the number of unread messages in the remote inbox, but does
not display the messages. How can I tell Evolution to look to the remote
imap server for the inbox and not my local mail directory?
Thanks in advance
