Should be $ formail -s procmail /home/yuwen/rcfile < Inbox No pipe between formail and procmail. Formail will invoke procmail over and over, once per message. With a suitable rcfile, splits large Inbox into multiple mbox files, sorted any way you like. Move them to where you want them in Thunderbird's mail storage hierarchy. Thunderbird will create .msf files to match. Also, end your rcfile with this recipe :0 /dev/null to prevent it from writing messages that didn't match onto /var/mail/yuwen Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
