I have used Gnus splitting (both plain and fancy) and procmail (with nnml) and also Sieve (with a Cyrus IMAP server). All of them work well. The advantage of the Gnus splitting is that it is better integrated with Gnus (see nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent, for instance). The advantage of the external methods is that they are somewhat faster: splitting happens when the mail arrives, rather than when you hit g. > In the same way, does procmail allows Gnus or any other MUA, to poll > their mails directly or does it force the use of another 3rd party tool > such as fetchmail to achieve this task ? Normally, procmail deposits mail in files in your home dir, where Gnus picks them up. -- ~/.signature
