I am using mutt along with experimenting with procmail for sorting.
I also have the requirement of being able to pop messages from my
shell account after they have been sorted. I set up an example
.procmailrc to filter my mail as seen below according to the procmail
man page and an example from the filtering faq.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/filtering-faq/
The below example works, but I can't pop the sorted messages. I
noticed that mutt seems to move the mail from
/var/spool/mail/brian
to
/home/brian/mbox
so I am not sure how to specify MAILDIR and DEFAULT in the .procmailrc
.
What changes do I need to make so I can have my messages sorted and
still be able to pop them?
brian
darkstar: $ cat /home/brian/.procmailrc
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # is this correct for allowing popping
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox # and for Mutt?
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
