Fetchmail->procmail->$MUA. This setup means I can use any MH-compatible reader, so if I'm away I can use mutt over an ssh connection and have the same mail structure/filtering as using SC from home. My only complaint is that sylpheed(-claws) is not designed for such a setup, so the only way to use it is disable pop3 for all accounts and then enable rescanning of folders after "checking" for mail. Also, the "Get All" button will only scan for new messages that have already been downloaded; it will not signal fetchmail to check at that moment. Not sure if this is just me misreading your message, but procmail does have native support for numbered MH directories as well as maildir and mbox. -- Mon:Feb:20:06 Eli C. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
