If your MTA delivers directly to the user's spoolfile then you need a ~/.forward in order to make procmail work[1]. You don't need one if your MTA uses procmail for final delivery -- or you advice fetchmail to use procmail as your MDA (see fetchmail(1), option '-m'). If you're not really familar with changing the config of your MTA then you may want to use ~/.forward or set up fetchmail to deliver directly via procmail. Cheers, Rocco [1] You can also run formail with option '-s' to call procmail.

Your local MTA should be set up to use procmail for final delivery. Procmail will then sort into different folders. > 2. Is there a way to easily move an e-mail from one folder to > another? I see a copy option but not move. You can either copy or save the message to another folder. If you save it (usually bound to 's') mutt will mark the original mail as deleted upon success - copying a message does copy only. HTH, Cheers, Rocco
Migrating from Sylpheed
Lo, All. I am interested in trying to convert from Sylpheed to Mutt. I have read the manual and am having success with a variety of things but have a couple of questions. 1. Even though my $MAIL is set correctly, I don't seem to be pulling mail from my spool, through procmail and into my various mail folders. 2. Is there a way to easily move an e-mail from one folder to another? I see a copy option but not move. Thanks for the help. -- Michael Herman
