Brad,
I recently (within the last week) made the same switch, not
because I had to use outlook, but because I needed to add
imap to the network, for our new road-warriors.
Anyway: the curent setup:
- Mail is still filtered (to files in ~/mail or ~/nsmail,
depending on user pref) by procmail
- I created an imap account in evolution.
Using this account, I subscribed to a number of folders,
the files in which the mail is filtered.
That's all there was to it, as far as I remember.
One minor problem: with the 'send/receive' option, all of my
mail arrives in a seperate folder. (Evolution 1.0.5) There is
a pop box on a remote server involved that I'd like to be
filtered to a seperate folder. Haven't yet figured out a way
to do this, but I think that's where evolutions own folders
come in.. (Or I could kludge up something using fetchmail..)
TimT. (Apologies for the appended disclaimer. I have no
control over it.)
