hello Santiago, I did as you suggested mv .procmailrc to .procmailrc.not.yet and i still get mail delivered to my main mail box. Just a side not when i had the .procmailrc file i did have the Mail directory and still i got mail delivered to my main mail box or inbox. Do you know of any solution that I can use to make procmail, smail and pine work? Thanks again for your suggestion. Paul
