i've been messing around trying to config procmail with my setup, in
various ways, but i still manage to fail every attempt... maybe someone
out there can help me,, i _have_ read all the docs, but i am just confused
as to what i need to setup
i have been using pine to connect to my mailserver, which has both imap
and pop3... simple config, inbox set to {server}inbox , blah blah... i
have been manually sorting out messages to folders on disk, and figured i
could do it a better way with filters, mainly procmail
i have not been downloading all the messages to disk in a local inbox
(per se), but rather downing the mails into their appropriate folders (in
~/mail)... how may i use procmail to it's fullest advantage? will it sort
the mails at the server itself, or will i have to down the messages to a
local inbox, _then_ have it sort it out ?
i have tried the latter, but it hasn't seemed to do a damned thing...
everything just stayed where it was... not sure what i've been doing
wrong...
also, where does the .forward come in? how is the whole process started?
any help would be much appreciated
