I am currently testing a single user, and have successfully converted the mail messages from mbox to Maildir format, and now I am setting up the procmail tool to place the messages into the correct folder. I have been following the http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat formula, but now have a question.New Messages are now being placed into the ~user/Maildir/new folder.
Procmail understands Maildir natively; you don't have to tell it to put messages into the "new" folder, you should just tell it to put things into the Maildir folder and end the line with a /, like so:
# correct!
:0
~user/Maildir/
# incorrect
:0
~user/Maildir/new/
# also incorrect
:0
~user/Maildir/new
If you specify the "new" directory, you're either telling procmail to
treat that directory like an MH folder, which is wrong, or you're
telling procmail that the "new" directory is a Maildir, in which case
it will create another "new" directory within that directory (along
with a "tmp" and "cur" directories).
