Well, apparently, I took #5 for granted. Unfortunately, that doesn't quite work with my newfangled setup ... beats me why. . . 5) IMAPd must recognize that you're viewing the inbox, and move everything from /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME in when new mail arrives :-) After getting absolutely no mail (not even my several hundred daily SPAM messages that aren't cought by my filter) for a couple of days, I started getting a tad worried. As it turns out, procmail was happily delivering my mail to /var/spool/mail/dave, but imapd never realized I was trying to access my inbox when I went to imap://mail.dave.tj/Mail/INBOX, so it didn't bother to move my new mail into there from the spool. Changing to the imap://mail.dave.tj/INBOX folder (which is exactly the same, by symlink), I suddenly get a huge flood of messages from the past couple of days. In other words, AFAIK, you still can't have it all with UW-IMAPd :-( - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler.
