Send us your .procmailrc file (or whatever it's called), so we can look it
over. I use pine with procmail and so far I'm completely satisfied.
Here's a few tips for pine: 1) create the folder in pine before you start
redirecting mail to it with procmail. 2) pine usually writes users'
personal mail folders in ~/mail/. Thus, I redirect mail in this manner:
# procmail mailing list
:0:
* ^.*(To|Cc|From):(_dot_)*procmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de
$HOME/mail/procmail
3) Lastly, (and this is optional) if you want to have your folder
listed as an INBOX, you must
alter your .pinerc file. Open .pinerc in an editor, search for
incoming-folders. Then add your folder according to the instructions below.
Remember to separate each entry by a comma. Here is what mine looks like.
I've got separate folders for different mailing lists and each can be
accessed through pine by just typing Tab.
# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox, {host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
incoming-folders=VIM ~/mail/INBOX-vim,
PHP3 ~/mail/php,
BSD-mac68k ~/mail/bsd-mac68k,
PROCMAIL ~/mail/procmail
Hope that helps.

I am using PINE and since I activated procmail in order to filter mi
messages into different folders, I started to notice that for some unknown
reason my disk quota exceeded too much and besides that, all messages in
my incoming folders are being repeated constantly and I don't find any way
to stop it.
I'd be glad if you can help me to figure out what the problem is.
Thanks.
