My advice for situations (such as yours, it appears) when delivery is to
mbox style folders: Use a local lockfile on each recipe that delivers to
such a folder. This protects against conflicts such as delivery vs.
read/delete processes.

I just set up procmail a few days ago and it seems to be filtering my
mail very well. However, even after reading the Procmail FAQ and the
section of the Pine FAQ about them, I'm still not entirely sure what
they are for and when they are needed. I don;t know whether they're
required for every folder I have, or just a few of them. Could
someone give me a few pointers on this? Thanks!
