Hi, I have Postfix 2.4.3 and procmail 2.0.22 installed. I use procmail to sort out mail to designated folders and I invoke it via mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail. I have to click on folder names in Thunderbird to be able to see mails. Is there a way for mails to show up so I don't have to click on folder names manually? I hope I made myself clear.

Hi. Considering this is the procmail discussion list, perhaps you could set the subject line to something meaningful?

Really? Perhaps you mean procmail 3.22 ?

Er, sounds like you have a thunderbird use issue. If postfix is receiving the messages and invoking procmail, then IT isn't part of your issue, and if procmail is filtering and storing the messages into the appropriate mailboxes, then it isn't malfunctioning. There _may_ be some program that is not part of the procmail package which you can invoke from procmail to "tickle" your MUA, but frankly, I know of no MUAs that automatically open up mailboxes other than your system mailbox. --- Sean B.

Humm, see letters with no click? OK: 1. The command 'tty' will show you the port you connected; this is your stdin, stdout and stderr. 2. Now redirect the messages to this port. For example if the output of the command tty(1) is "/dev/pts/5" then send the messages to this port: :0 /dev/pts/0 If your system don't alow this redirection, use the write(1) command: :0 |write YoursUserName /dev/pts/0 Bye, Udi
