Perhaps you should use procmail in verbose mode (VERBOSE=yes) to detect the error. See this extraction from procmail's manpage about error messages: Error while writing to x Nonexistent subdirectory, no write permission, pipe died or disk full.

mail sorting
Hello, is it possible to configure Mutt to automatically sort incoming mail? Something like Sorting Office. Maybe it's explained some ware already. -- Lukasz Zamel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reg. Linux User: #202048

Maybe it's explained some ware already. I'm not quite sure what yo mean with sorting mail. In mutt sorting means that you can configure in which order mutt displays the messages in a mailbox. This behaviour is controlled by the sort variable in your muttrc. See the manual for details. Or do you want to filter incoming mails, i.e. to move them to different mailboxes according to subject, sender etc.? This is not mutt's job. You should use procmail for that. See man procmail, man procmailex to get a first impression. There are several tutorials on the web that will help you with the configuration and IIRC there also exists an own mailing-list.

Pradeep mutt-users [16/07/01 05:35 -0700]: You can use something like procmail to do this visit www.procmail.org for FAQs on how to go about it or visit http://symonds.net/~pradeep/linux.htm this is how i did learn how to filter my messages. If all you want to do is to sort mail within a folder, the $sort variable helps ... set sort=threads for example.

Re: mail sorting
My experience is that procmail is well worth the modest effort to learn it. You can easily pick up sample recipes that you'll see are really pretty straight forward.
