 * I was able to successfully configure and run Postie to IMAP for my email address.
   But, I noticed it picked up emails that were stored under different folders outside
   of the Inbox. Is there a way to get Postie to process emails from a specific 
   folder (i.e. Inbox only)?

 * Postie only looks in the inbox folder. Your mail server likely has something 
   to do with it.
    You should be using a dedicated email account for Postie.

 * I am using a dedicated email account that is only used by me with my domain as
   @thephotopit.com as the email address. Is there anything else I could do in the
   configuration or on the mail server side to improve what Postie is pulling?

 * I would check that you have IMAP specified by Postie as POP will pull all messages.
 * I’d also look to see how the IMAP folder is defined.

 * Thanks Wayne. I do have IMAP selected. I’ll check with my mail host on how the
   IMAP folder is defined.
