This is highly likely to be a problem with the way that procmail is
storing messages into the INBOX mail folder. I would strongly suggest that
procmail not be used to deliver directly into a Maildir. I have two
alternative suggestions:
- use the maildrop program to deliver the messages. You can still use
procmail to sort messages, but then pass the messages to maildrop to
deliver. I trust maildrop to deliver to Maildir correctly - I no longer
trust procmail to do it, following a number of problem reports.
- sort the mail using procmail, but get qmail to do that message delivery:
- create a maildir ~/Mail/folder1
- create ~/.qmail-folder1 containing:
./Mail/folder1/
- configure procmail to forward matching messages to
