It's possible to append mails to gzipped folders by something like
| gzip >> folder
in your .procmailrc.
BUT DON'T DO THIS, if you do not want to loose mail!
IIRC, there is no mechanism to merge changes in the compressed folder
into the temporary uncompressed folder, so if you have a compressed
folder open for reading, while a new mail arrives and is appended to
this compressed folder, it will never been shown, but simply
overwritten, when leaving the compressed folder with mutt.
I suggest to use compressed folders only for archive folders but not
for incoming folders.
Tschoeeee
