On my system all local mail: from root, warnings from UPS, hylafax are being forwarded to me: joseph so I have a mail box in /var/mail/joseph In evolution all I had to do is to configure it to pull mail as: "local delivery" and magically all these emails were being forwarded to me. But there is no such magic in mutt :-/ I need to figure it out how to do it on manually; to pull mail from: /var/mail/joseph (it is an mbox) to ~/.maildir (my local folder) procmail will take care of the sorting to deliver it my "inbox" but I think I need to instruct the fetchmail to get that mail. I'm familiar with: formail -s procmail < /var/mail/joseph Which I could (I think) put in .procmailrc and it could pull my email IN but it will not empty my mbox /var/mail/joseph -- #Joseph
