in procmail:
:0
* ^Envelope-to:.*first-mail@domain
{
:0
* ^Mailing-List:.+mutt-users
.ML.mutt/
...
}
:0
* ^Envelope-to:.*second-mail@domain
{
...
}
I have splited it into smaller parts and it works perfectly...
Oh yes, currently I am coding some graphical config stuff for
procmail using Xdialog and bash.
Same for a graphfical config tool for mutt using Xdialog and
bash too

IMAP works perfectly, including server-side searches...

And? - I use such thin daily with mutt!

??? - Wahat about:
apt-get install ssmtp
$EDITOR ~/.mutt/muttrc
set sendmail="ssmtp"

For this I use folder-hook and send-hook and it works the same way as
in all other MUA's with the exception, that it can heavyly customized
which is not possibel in ANY GUI clients (maybe in emacs-os it works too)

New folder automaticaly create by procmail and maildrop if you have
added a new filter and the mail is coming in.

Where is the problem? - You call the SMTPD with a different config and?
Mozilla, Tbird, kmail, ... are working the same way!

An you spend month to try out tonns of GUI clients to know,
one of them has the required features!
I have tried OVER 20 different GUI MUA's (since my customes
need it) but they are useles, even my customers ask me all
the time about HOW to add features like...
