[SM-USERS] server-side sorting

[Don R. <do...@dr...>]

On one machine I have Lniux/Fedora Core 3 running apache 2.0 , 
squirrelmail 1.4.3a-6, sendmail and procmail.

On various other PCs I have thunderbird e-mail clients connecting to 
that first machine via IMAP, or connecting to it via http(s) using 
squirrelmail

I have a question regarding sorting the mail as it arrives so it's 
placed in different folders....

Right now I do this with "rules" in Thunderbird, but that seems strange 
to me, because  I have to maintain duplicate sets of "rules".... and of 
course if the Thunderbird client is shut down, mail stops getting sorted.
Enter "procmail"...

My question is... if I use a squirrelmail plugin to do "server-side 
sorting", does that create rules (recipes) in the procmailrc file? Or 
does the sorting take place when  I log into squirrelmail and then 
squirrelmail sorts it all.

I think what I'm looking for is some sort of "intelligent editor" for 
manipulating procmailrc files.

Does anybody know of a "procmailrc editor"? Everything I find on the 
subject begins with "Start your favorite text editor and open procmailrc..."

What do other people do to get their incoming mail into different folders?

Thanks,
Don Russell
