Hi List,
There's something I'm curious about. I'm wondering if there is anyone else on
the list that has either done this themselves, or know that it's possible,
but I would like to be able to use Procmail to filter email for Kmail. Now I
know I would have to pull the mail from a local dir, e.i.
/var/spool/mail/$USER, and to get the mail I would have to use fetchmail or
something else like that, however when I tried it on my machine it didn't
seem to want to work.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/mdw1982
LOGFILE=/home/mdw1982/procmail/log
SHELL=/bin/sh
These are the values for the parameters at the top of the rc file that are
being used and while these work flawlessly with Pine, they do not seem to
work for Kmail. When I tested this the only line I made a change to was
MAILDIR. For Pine the line reads MAILDIR=$HOME/mail, and for Kmail the line
reads MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail.
This, however, doesn't seem to work. Is there something wrong with my logic?
what is it that I seem to be missing? I really love the power and flexibility
that filtering with Procmail offers. The control is awesome and far out
performs any other GUI email clients ability to filter.
TIA,
