  4.7.  Mailbox Shortcuts

  There are a number of built in shortcuts which refer to specific
  mailboxes.  These shortcuts can be used anywhere you are prompted for
  a file or mailbox path.
  ·  ! -- refers to your ``$spool'' (incoming) mailbox
  ·  > -- refers to your ``$mbox'' file
  ·  < -- refers to your ``$record'' file
  ·  - -- refers to the file you've last visited
  ·  ~ -- refers to your home directory
  ·  = or + -- refers to your ``$folder'' directory

  ·  @alias -- refers to the ``default save folder'' as determined by
     the address of the alias
-------------------------------- snip ----------------------------------

So just type c!<Return> to return to your spool mailbox.
I've also set up a macro:

macro index I "c!\n" "Change to incoming mailfolder"

bye,
Jan
