Hi everyone,
I'm reading one of my email accounts through IMAP, and here's what I
want to set up:
1. I want to use procmail to filter my mail into the mailboxes
2. I want to use IMAP to read mail in those mailboxes
The IMAP server in question uses mboxes to store mail and I have a
shell account on the machine in question, so it's not a problem to set
up procmail correctly.
The problem is this:
I'd like to use procmail rules along the lines of the magic List-Id
rule from Jeff's procmailrc:
:0
* ^((List-Id|X-(Mailing-)?List):(.*[<]\/[^>]*))
{
LISTID=$MATCH
:0:
* LISTID ?? ^\/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Lists/$MATCH
}
however, I can't figure out a way to get my IMAP client to notice new
folders being created, on start-up or while running. I don't need to
know about them instantly, but I would like to know about them within a
day or so.
This is a general problem for any mail filtering solution that creates
new folders on the fly, even if you have some kind of find command
locally (as per many people's .muttrc files), you still need to restart
the MUA to run it.
Does anyone have an MUA that handles new folders being created, or
another solution for the problem that is MUA independent[1]?

[1] MUA-dependent is easy: ditch procmail and use an MUA's custom mail
filters.
