Hi there

zhang [03.Apr.2009 08:45]:

I have a not functioning so well .procmailrc and I would like to try
to sort the mails already popped again. Could anyone give me some
pointers on this?

Well, if you store your email in a maildir-type structure, you could use 
something like this:

 for j in $(find .maildir/ -type d | grep cur) ; do (
   cd $j ;
   for i in * ;
do cat $i | formail -s procmail ; done) ;
 done

If you have one mbox-file, well, try this:

  cat .mbox-file | formail -s procmail

You should also have a look at the formail options in the corresponding 
manpage, which might help you adjust the above lines to your needs.
