Is there some reason you can't do this sorting in fdm itself? I haven't used it, but from a quick scan of the man page it looks as though you can accomplish what you want by putting something like this in your config file (e.g., ~/.fdm.conf): # Define accounts to fetch from account "foo" imap [...] account "bar" pop3 [...] # Sort everything by date action "inbox" maildir "~/mail/%a/%[mail_year]/%[mail_month]/%[mail_day]" > thanks, > MC HTH, Paul. -- Paul Hoffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
