Hi, SuSE 8.2 I have fetchmail delivering to /var/spool/mail/username, invoking bogofilter as it goes ( thus adding X-bogosity headers to mail ). My mailer software ( mew under emacs ) should then be able ( via a utility called incm [part of the mew package] ) to transfer mail to ~/Mail/inbox. This is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many, many TIA Francesco

Why dont you deliver the mails with procmail to ~/Mail/inbox when you invoke it anyway? :0 $HOME/Mail/inbox at the end of ~/.procmailrc Henne -- If it ain't from the heart than it can't be art If you ain't got proof than it can't be truth If it ain't got legs than it can not run If it ain't never started than it can't be done

My mailer software ( mew under emacs ) somehow will not recognise messages delivered directly to ~/Mail/inbox - I tried that. Cheers F

I guess it looks up the MAIL variable. Try to set it before you start mew. export MAIL="$HOME/Mail/inbox"; emacs -whatever If that works you can make it permanent in your ~/.profile.

is Mail/inbox NFS mounted ? If so, are the 2 clocks in sync ? mew should be able to see that the timestamp on Mail/inbox is newer and react onthat. If that is happening and mew does not see it it's a bug in mew.

n/a

maybe that is the answer -- shall look further into internals of mew / incm Mew will pull pop3 directly into ~/Mail/inbox - my reason for the fetchmail/procmail route is to apply bogofilter on the way in as it were. Thanks for the help F
