I've got procmail breaking my mailing lists into monthly chunks. Which
makes things a lot easier as far as mutt is concerned. What I'm really
looking for is a way for evolution to pick up and share the current
mailboxes that I've got. Vince's IMAP suggestion comes closest so
far. Why I can't persuade evo to use the same files is beyond me.

Which is one of the things that I want to play with. Might well see if
I can't persuade procmail to dump all my emails into 2 locations, one
for mutt, one for evolution. Not ideal, but it's another bright idea
that might work.

Cheers,

Simon
