Now, I would like to add some more rules to organise several mailing
lists in the incoming emails however, I would also that those rules
apply to the current INBOX, so that the mails there matching the rules
go to the respective directory. How can I do that [not the part of
adding a new rule but making sure the new rules act on emails already
in the INBOX]?
Cheers,
When I do this, I create a folder (like .temp), and move my Inbox
contents there. Then I cd into the folder for .temp, and run:
find ./cur -type f -name "*COMMON*"| while read f; do procmail <$f;done
find ./new -type f -name "*COMMON*"| while read f; do procmail <$f;done
(You'll want to do an ls in the cur/new folder to see what the common
part of your filenames are, and replace "COMMON" with it. :) )
Thanks! I shall try that out!
Best,
