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. ]> ]> To increase the performance, it's possible to combine Procmail with Dovecot's deliver tool: Other references, in the Q&A section: ]# I just used procmail to populate a bunch of folders while migrating to dovecot.

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.

It seems I can not just say: hey, those are my folders now, just use them. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
