Splitting again ?

Splitting again ?

[Fabrice Popineau]

Hi,

Maybe this is a FAQ : is it possible to split again an nnml: mailbox?
I mean applying again the rules and possibly move messages to other
nnml mailboxes.

Thaks for any,

Do you mean B r (respooling) the article?.

Possibly yes, I mean especially: what side effect does it have (if
any) a part from sendind it again through the splitting rules? Because
I envisage to apply this to a bunch of big mailboxes to get a finer
grain of splitting.

None side effect I know of. AFAIK it simply does what the description
says:

B q is also useful, if you are testing modifications to your rules.
