It *can*; you just have to configure things correctly. I'm guessing, since mutt has no such restrictions, that this is a problem in your procmailrc. Make sure that the inbox delivery line ends in a slash (/), so that procmail knows that it needs to be in Maildir format. (also, you'll need to move the existing inbox out of the way, otherwise procmail will get mad). > You know, a folder containing cur, new, and tmp. That's a Maildir. ~Kyle - -- Only a mediocre person is always at his best. -- Somerset Maugham -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iD8DBQFIdum8BkIOoMqOI14RAsn4AJsEdMoIkB7g2taT3hQuAcxGfx4fAQCfZ9xC aGtpIXcZKYIqbUCPlOrN1K4= =x9RR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
