This will clutter up ~/.procmailrc, but may be I'll try someday.
Now I have encountered a different problem. My Android IMAP client
(the Gmail map) shows lots of mails in my Inbox. However, I already
deleted those mails locally from /var/mai/vas. They are being cached
somewhere.
Is it not dovecot caching them?
Nor can I find a way to forcefully rescan an IMAP folder in the Gmail app.
