That changes things.

You cannot copy accounts with remote folders (IMAP and NNTP), you need to
create a new account.

You should remove all the manual edits you've made in accountrc (and any
other config files).

Then use the GUI to create a new account.

inbox_entry relates to POP accounts
local_inbox_entry relates to LOCAL accounts.

Neither of these will affect an IMAP account.
