Question or Symptom

I'm using procmail to filter email under Unix. I'd like to be able to manipulate those folders with Eudora. I've set Eudora 5 (on a Mac) to use IMAP, but it doesn't find my mail folders.

Resolution

In Settings-->Checking Mail, you need to specify the name of your procmail directory in the Location Prefix field. For example if /users/jamii/mail is the directory I use with procmail to create mail folders I need to set my Location Prefix to

  mail/

Note the trailing /. This is important. Without it Eudora won't find the directory. To get an update of the state of this directory, open the Mailboxes Window, select the user profile you're working with (usually dominant) and press the Refresh icon. It's the one that looks like a letter on a stick.

More information can be found at the Eudora website. See below URL.
