I'm also having a look at dovecot, but the problem is that it doesn't
integrate well with procmail filtering. It has its own filtering system
which I don't know much about, so I'm not sure if I could migrate all my
procmail rules.


What makes you say that, Carlos? I've been running dovecot with procmail ever
since FC4.

Well, that's what dovecot's documentation says.

For example, here:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail

]> Procmail delivers mails into Maildir folders, if a slash is appended to the
folder name (e.g.
".spam/"). But Procmail itself could not update the Dovecot index files. This
decreases the
performance a bit, because the Dovecot IMAP or POP3 server has to add new mails
for the index files.

The answer for this section is confusing. It seems I would have to change the
entire folder structure.



I just found the solution there for procmail and indexes:

]> To update the index files during delivery, you can use deliver within
procmailrc. This improves
the performance for frequently updates folders. Details are explained here:

]> :0 w
]> | /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -m folder


which means altering all my rules.


It seems I can not just say: hey, those are my folders now, just use them.
