it depends on whether you read main in batches, say, at the begining of
the day, and the end of the day, then this is fine.

but if you read mail interactively all day then this is an arse.

procmail has some very neat features for moving mail to folders as it
gets delivered, which is nice for maildir, but an arse for imap...

it all depends on how much time you have available ..
