You said that you used `test ! -d` to see whether the mailbox
existed. Would this access the mailbox and therefore change the
various time/date attributes?
When I experimented a while ago, I'm sure that I didn't have to
use `test` - the mailbox is created automatically by procmail
(it doesn't create directories by itself, though). I filter my
mail by using...
# Mutt
:0:
* ^Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/home/smaug/mail/lists/mutt-users/${MONTHSTRING}
... with ${MONTHSTRING} being simply "MONTHSTRING=`date +%Y-%m`"
- there are no tests to see whether the file exists before the
mail is put there.
HTH, etc, blah.
