I've got a problem with my procmail recipes for use with an IMAP server,
so I thought I'd enquire here if anyone knows of any solution.
At the moment I have a .forward file like this:
\jberanek, <procmail command>
and a procmail rc file which does this:
===
:0:
* ^TOkent-grads(_at_)ukc
$HOME/pending
:0
/dev/null
===
This allows me to read the mails that are from the kent-grads address,
and also to archive them to a folder (which gets HTMLised by MHOnArc).
However, I can see that this is rather inefficient, and I also want to
be able to add a recipe to junk certain messages, which I can't do with
the .forward file as it is.
The reason I don't just have Procmail forward any non-matching
messages to my inbox is because I have an IMAP inbox that has a weird
format. I wasn't sure Procmail would handle this mailbox format.
(and also the standard default recipe puts the messages in Mail/InTray,
whereas mine are in .Mail/INBOX in this weird format)
The mailbox starts:
*mbx*
0000000100002fcb
followed by lots of garbage, followed by the oldest message.
Does this sound like a mailbox format that Procmail supports, and if so,
do I need to explicitly tell it to use it?
John.
