What I'm not sure about is the Inbox folder itself. I have the /var/spool/mail/user Inbox folder and another Inbox folder in my /home/user/mail folder, ie: /home/skull/mail/Inbox which is where procmail deposits all the mail received in the /var/spool/mail/user folder that didn't get rerouted to a special folder via procmail. Can I continue to use my /home Inbox as the Inbox, or should I switch back to the /var/spool/mail/user folder as the Inbox?
