On mine the 10-mail.conf change was: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=MailDiR and the procmailrc change was: ##ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox ##DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/INBOX/MailDiR/new LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log Which is really not 100% correct because it ends up putting all the mail one level deeper (Maildir/INBOX/MailDiR/) than it should be but by the time I got it working I was too frustrated to go back and change it. -- Larry Smith lesm...@ecsis.net _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
