Write in the .procmailrc (this assumes that you make a directory called Mail in your home directory): MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from :0 * ^X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org Debian-User You can then add rules if you want to seperate other lists as well. One tip. If you get a lot of spam, then this rule is quite effective if put at the end of the .procmailrc file: :0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Junk All mail that is not addresed to you will thus go to the Junk folder. Note that if you subscribe to a new mailinglist, these mails will end up here until you make a rule for this mailinglist. To the end of your .muttrc file add: source ~/.mutt.personal Then make a file called .mutt.personal where you put: mailboxes +mbox mailboxes +Debian-User Now when you get a new mail in Debian-User you will get notified and you jump to this folder by pressing c and Enter.
