 After creating some rule with procmail, the existing mbox can be
   processed as follows:

1. cd Mail
# or the directory where mbox or the mail is
2. mv mbox xyz  
# this prevents problems, since the rule may send some email to mbox,
# that is, most likely it will
3. cat xyz | formail -s procmail
# See man formail, man procmailrc, man procmail, etc.
