procmail delivering outside of MAILDIR

procmail delivering outside of MAILDIR

[urgrue]

im having trouble getting rid of having two visible inboxes caused by
procmail and wu-imap.
i have MAILDIR=$HOME/mail. therefore my catch-all rule in .procmailrc:
:0
INBOX
ends up delivering mail to ~/mail/INBOX.
Fine. Problem is, ~/INBOX keeps appearing as it is crated by wu-imap.
Therefore, how can I either:
1) tell procmail to deliver to ~/INBOX 
2) tell wu-imap to deliver to ~/mail/INBOX

I realize I could probably have MAILDIR=~ and then specify all my mailboxes
in .procmailrc with mail/ prefixes, but this seems to be a bit of a kludge.

Hi,

       Just use an absolute path in the procmail rule.  So something like:

:0
/home/urgrue/INBOX

or

:0
$HOME/INBOX

We don't use wu-imap here any more so I can't help with that.

Cheers

Adam
