    Hi, I have been frustrated because messages have not been going into
    designated
    folders. It may be due to a .procmailrc / .muttrc incompatibility.

    Environment variables in .procmailrc are ...

    > PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
    > MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
    > DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/adam
    > LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
    >
    >
    > SHELL=/bin/bash
    > LINEBUF=4096
    > VERBOSE=yes
    > #LOGFILE=$HOME/Mail/procmaillog
    > FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
    > SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
    > DROPPRIVS=yes
    > DISPLAY=localhost:0
    > XAUTHORITY=/home/adam/.Xauthority
    > SED=/bin/sed
    > LBDBFETCH=/usr/bin/lbdb-fetchaddr
    > MESSAGE="/usr/local/bin/gmsgp --no_hscrollbar -f -"

    ... and in .muttrc

    > #source ~/.mutt/common
    > set realname="Adam Bogacki"

    > set spoolfile=~/Mail/IN.All

    > #set record="~/Maildir/.Sent Items/"
    > #set spoolfile=~/Maildir/
    >
    >
    > mailboxes /var/spool/mail/adam
    > mailboxes /home/adam/Mail/IN.DebianUserDigest
    > mailboxes /home/adam/Mail/IN.DebianUserPolish
    > mailboxes /home/adam

    You'll notice that .procmail uses Maildir to define a mailbox, yet when
    I uncomment the
    Maildir lines in the .muttrc, I get the error message that "Maildir is
    not a mailbox".
    I'm stuck with the 'IN.All' folder into which a number of high volume
    lists get dumped,
    including debian-user-digest. The procmaillog folder is also empty.

    These must be a simple way to fix this - I've had mutt folder recipes
    working before
    and miss their usefullness.

    Adam Bogacki,
