I have a fundamental lack of understanding on something. I am using Mutt with FreeBSD 7.0. I have a number of mailboxes designated in my muttrc that Procmail delivers to...for example:
mailboxes $HOME/Mail/muttusers mailboxes $HOME/Mail/freebsd mailboxes $HOME/Mail/jep mailboxes $HOME/Mail/steve mailboxes $HOME/Mail/cups mailboxes $HOME/Mail/abiword mailboxes $HOME/Mail/system mailboxes $HOME/Mail/procmail mailboxes $HOME/Mail/spam mailboxes $HOME/Mail/xan mailboxes $HOME/Mail/elinks mailboxes $HOME/Mail/mfolder mailboxes $HOME/Mail/mark mailboxes $HOME/Mail/kim mailboxes $HOME/Mail/postfix mailboxes $HOME/Mail/walt mailboxes $HOME/Mail/inbox All of those mailboxes, with the exception of "inbox", are actual folders. Inbox, on the other hand is not a folder, but rather a file, to which are appended all of the email which is not put in named folders by Procmail. Why is it that the inbox cannot itself have its own folder instead of just being a file? You know, a folder containing cur, new, and tmp. Normally, I wouldn't care about all of this, but I am using Mairix to do indexing and searching of email, and Mairix, to the best of my knowledge, will not index a file. So I guess I'm asking why I can't set up my inbox just like any of the mailboxes that Procmail delivers to. Whew! Does that make any sense? Rem
