mutt procmail NEWBIE



Hai all,

I've been attempting to get my Mutt going but it's giving me a hard time
I've included .procmailrc .muttrc .forward .fetchmailrc . If there's more, please let me know

Did not include /etc/Muttrc as it is the default.
Using Debian-woody; I do not use exim, trying to use ssmtp and procmail.

However able to get the mail delivered where I want to, Mutt complains that the destination box (spoolfile) is not a mail box.
I don't have a clue as to where I must look. The documentation of procmail/mutt requires expert-insight; no easy "looks like this" examples (well it does, but it don't work for me). Also the mutt and procmail webpages for Newbies gave me an impression of what is possible, impressive by the way, but I could not get a configuration out of it.

Having two mailaddresses I would like them to arrive in seperate mailboxes.
I've tried to work with the build-in 'fetch-the-mail' option. For one pop-account it works great, but I was not able to get the two of them working (only the latter in the muttrcfile). As to account-hook; I have not got a clue on how to go about that. As with folder-hook.

Could you please CC me? I do not have a subscription

Thanks,
Frans
