Hi Anne, It seems that your setup is similar as mine. I use dovecot and procmail too in Maildir format accessing, my mail via IMAP.

I think that's the Dovecot's way. So that should've been: * ^To:.*design@xxxxxxxxxxx $MAILDIR/.Design/ Mine actually don't have the $MAILDIR in the recipe, because it's set in /etc/dovecot.conf. I have this line in dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir So my procmailrc is actually something like: --------- PATH=/bin:/usr/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail-log :0: * ^Subject:.*LogWatch .CronLog/ --------------- And about your other question: > I need some clarification, please. In the section "Setting up Dovecot" > it talks about 'mail_spool_directory'. I looked at the > dovecot.conf.orig, and found that it was only set in the pop3 section. I don't have the 'mail_spool_directory' line in my /etc/dovecot.conf. I am not sure what that's for though. Hope that helps. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
