I have no idea where to even begin... I'd begin by reading the procmail documentation and googling for fetchmail, procmail and IMAP. Fetchmail is a little utility that periodically polls mail servers and downloads new mail (via POP or IMAP). It can be configured to use whatever MDA you want (in your case procmail). What I don't know how to do off the top of my head is how to store messages in remote IMAP folders from within a procmail rule. I imagine you'll have to pipe the message to a a external to procmail that knows how to do IMAP. Alternatively, your ISP probably has a way to set up filtering and sorting rules on the IMAP server. That _might_ be able to take the place of procmail. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Hello.
