Hi, I have come up with the following problem. 
Having redirected your message to a folder, how could you get an
indication that a new mail has arrived and o which folder has it been
stored, other than having to look at the log file? If you don't store them
in  the /var/spool/mail/xxxx, then can't you get a notification about any
incoming messages ? Is there any way to see in which folder is a new
message stored ?
