As I understand it, fetchmail does a POP3/IMAP pickup from a mailserver and delivers it to the SMTP socket of the machine on which it is running. How does that get mail into the Evolution Inbox ? As I understand it, procmail is a local filter that sits between an MTA and the /var/spool/mail/~ mailbox. Were you suggesting a procmail rule to deliver everything to ~/evolution/Inbox/mbox ? If so, does Evolution support the mailbox locking mechanism, or does it expect with its own Inbox to be the only one using it ? Jonathan
