I have an email account on a separate mail server, and I want to keep the mail I get at that account separate from the mail I get directly on my Linux machine. So I use fetchmail to get mail from the mail server, then procmail to deliver it to mbox. After I fetch the mail, it can take a very long time, sometimes up to 10 minutes, for it to be delivered to mbox. This is very puzzling, and it seems to occur even if the machine is relatively idle. The fastest it ever seems to sort the mail is 2 or 3 minutes. I have a relatively simple .procmailrc file, which I will append at the end of this message. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it takes so long for the mail to get to mbox after fetchmail retrieves it? It can be very frustrating to know the mail has been fetched, but that I can't read it. Thanks very much,
