You need to do two things (3 if you have fancy URLs).

First. Go to the settings panel in WordPress. Make the "Site Address" http://www.domain.com. Leave the "WordPress Address" alone -- it should remain http://www.domain.com/mainpage/

Second. Copy index.php from mainpage/ and place the copy in your root directory for www.domain.com. Change:

require('./wp-blog-header.php');

To:

require('./mainpage/wp-blog-header.php');

If you're using pretty URLs you may have to copy .htaccess as well -- Wordpress usually can do this for you when you change the Site Address.

Redirect your users from your index.php file to the path where you want them to go. using header("Location:YOUR_PATH");
