Fetchmail and Netscape



I use Netscape Communicator 4.77 for my e-mail client.  (So fa,r, I
haven't found anythiong else that I am happier with.)  Sometimes,
however, its mail filtering just doesn't seem to work quite right.  I am
thinking about using fetchmail to get my POP3 mail.  I have done this
before, though not recently, and I think that I can get it working
again.

My question, however, is how do I filter the mail into Netscape's
mailboxes?  Do I just set my server preferences to say that I am using
movemail and then have procmail (or something like it) sort directly
into Netscape's mailboxes, since it uses the standard mbox format?

Is procmail the best program to use for filtering, or does anyone have
other suggestions?
