what I'm asking is.. will it benefit me to change the way I do email and add another program into the mix. right now I do fetchmail to /var/mail/myuser kmail picks up the mail, does all the filtering... when I fire up icedove, it is a totally separate set of folders & emails ( dating back 2 years:) I'm not sure I understand how I can use procmail to put mail into filtered folders that any mail program can read. It would be nice to be able to switch programs & still have all my mail in the same folders.. but looking at the procmailrc( now non-existant), then thinking about my 200 kmail filters, I'm not sure I could tackle that task.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
