procmail can also store into MH folders, e.g. ~/mail/inbox, IIRC, removing the need for the inc stage. > > The problem of retrieving mail is the same in either case, however. > > Use fetchmail OR inc, but not both.

Since fetchmail can do more complex fetching than inc, likewise procmail can do more complex filtering than slocal I suggest you leave them to do the work they're already doing and either have procmail put stuff in your inbox or create ~/bin/inc that kicks off fetchmail and then runs /usr/bin/mh/inc.
