I am currently testing a single user, and have successfully converted the mail messages from mbox to Maildir format, and now I am setting up the procmail tool to place the messages into the correct folder. I have been following the http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat formula, but now have a question.
New Messages are now being placed into the ~user/Maildir/new folder.
Procmail understands Maildir natively; you don't have to tell it to put messages into the "new" folder, you should just tell it to put things into the Maildir folder and end the line with a /, like so:
# correct! :0 ~user/Maildir/ # incorrect :0 ~user/Maildir/new/ # also incorrect :0 ~user/Maildir/newIf you specify the "new" directory, you're either telling procmail to treat that directory like an MH folder, which is wrong, or you're telling procmail that the "new" directory is a Maildir, in which case it will create another "new" directory within that directory (along with a "tmp" and "cur" directories).
~Kyle Thanks Kyle, the Procmailrc script I am using is as follows:
more ~health/.procmailrc # Maildir procmail setup
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH="$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/include:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin: /usr/sbin" MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/ DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL LOGFILE=/var/Procmail/log LOGABSTRACT=all VERBOSE=yes
:0 $ORGMAIL
I believe that this matches your correct example. That is just where Procmail places them.
