What I would like to do is have the .qmail type options (or procmail, whatever) to move files into different Maildirs. Simple enough? I want to move them into different IMAP folders. I don't know if this is as straightforward as it looks ...

I highly recommend you check out Maildrop, currently at v1.1. You can grab a copy and read up on the program (and why I'm recommending it over Procmail) at <http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/>.

So far so good. I do not know if Procmail already officially supports Maildirs, but when I moved to Maildrop from the default Procmail at around the same time I moved to QMail from Sendmail (a few months back, at the least), Procmail still had to be patched, and I wasn't too happy with that. I also find that Maildrop is more efficient than Procmail at doing its job. I don't know how true that is under high loads, though. I'm not one of those with extreme requirements.

The language of the Maildrop filters is pretty straightforward, despite the fact that the documentation may seem intimidating at first (so many filtering capabilities there if you need them, but so far I don't).

To help you out I'll be giving you a bare-bones $HOME/.mailfilter file that you could use. All this does is set the default Maildir, and filters courier-users e-mail (while we're at it, someone please tell me if I'm doing things really wrong with my filters, but perhaps that would be better said in the Maildrop mailing list).
