Help on delivery to IMAP folder

[Simon J. Hubbard]

Hi,   I'm using UW IMAP + procmail + sendmail.  Procmail has been implemented at the local mailer level.  I am therefore able to filter messages at the server level.  For each of my user's I've created a junkmail folder.  So what I'd like to do is get procmail to filter messages according to subject and deliver them to the user's junkmail folder.  I'm using the standard mbox mailbox format and I've tested the above and although the message physically gets delivered to the folder I'm unable to view the messages through my email client (tried Outlook Express, Netscape and IMP).    I saw some mention on another list that a message must first pass through the /cur and /new directories inside the users home directory for formatting by UW IMAP  before it can be viewed.  Is this is the case?   I've also seen an alternative solution whereby you use mbx format mail folders and use dmail to deliver those folders, however as I'm doing this at the local mailer level (UID root), I'm unable to go down this road as dmail won't run under UID root.   Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.   Thanks, Simon Hubbard.
