[mew-int 01045] handling pre-sorted mail

Hi,

I've just updated mew to 2.2 and I cannot workout how to get some
functionality that I had working with the old version (1.94.1) and
with MH. 

I use MH's slocal util (procmail would do too I expect) to pre-sort
incoming mail into various maildrops.  These are ~/Mail/*/in
ie. for the folder +netbsd there is a maildrop ~/Mail/netbsd/in
+backup has a maildrop of ~/Mail/backup/in

With MH I simply use a lisp fuction (my-mh-inc-folder) that runs inc
with args to have it use the correct maildrop for each folder.

With the old version of mew, I had an Imget.Assoc that looked like:

Imget.Assoc= +inbox=local:${HOME}/Maildir/;+inbox=local:${MAIL};\
        +backup=local:${HOME}/Mail/backup/indir/;+backup=local:${HOME}/Mail/back
up/in;\
	...
	
which worked ok - though it had the disadvantage of always retrieving
for all folders each time it was run.

With version 2.2 I've played with mew-config-alist (perhaps
incorrectly) but I couldn't get incm to look at the per-folder
maildrops.   FWIW I had:

(setq mew-config-alist
      '(
	("backup"
	 ("inbox-folder"   . "+backup")
	 ("mbox-command-arg" . "-d ~/Mail/backup/in"))
...
	))

Is it possible to do what I want and I'm just not looking in the right
place?

Thanks
