So put your email into /var/spool/mail folders and then use Netscape to POP3 the mail out of that folder. I do that with Kmail (instead of netscape) and it works just fine.
Notice that I'm using several programs to see the same mails: Pine for list mail, mozilla for html mails, etc. If I configure Netscape that way, then kmail will not see them, etc. Also, each program would maintain its own separate set of folders, wasting space. No, I want to keep using fetchmail, procmail, etc, just as they are, because they work perfect. I only would like to tell mozilla to simply reread and reindex his folders, that's all. If the only way to do that is restarting mozilla/Netscape, that's far better and simpler than reconfiguring everything else...
I also use fetchmail (two copies of it for 5 ISP accounts) but I pass the email directly to procmail instead of postfix. Saves some overhead.
True. But I have postfix configured to reject certain headers and attaches, before they are fully downloaded, and I can't do that with procmail.
Procmail splits out the mail into several folders in /var/spool/mail and then Kmail gets it from there.
I have it distribute into folders directly in /home/cer/Mail/*, into the different folders. Every mail client read them from there. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
