Hi Ron,
If you use fetchmail to get your mail from your ISP, is it still easy?
At the moment I use fetchmail and maildrop. Once courier-imap is
installed, do I just change my .mailfilter from say:
###############################################
# Filter debian-user list messages #
###############################################
if (/^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
to "$HOME/Mail/IN-debian-user/"
}
to --
###############################################
# Filter debian-user list messages #
###############################################
if (/^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
to "$HOME/Maildir/IN-debian-user/"
}
(Assuming courier-imap defaults to $HOME/Maildir/)
To copy an existing $HOME/Mail/ structure
=========================================
Can I just "cp Mail Maildir" then when I am happy just "rm -r Mail"
What documentation do you recommend reading?
Using the MUA to access the "$HOME/Maildir/" is another 'kettle of fish'

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
