Hello everyone!

I currently have the following installed on my server :-

courier-imap-0.99 pine-4.21 procmail-3.14

Pine is configured to access the INBOX via IMAP by putting in inbox-path={home.hjc.edu.sg}inbox in the pine.conf file. And procmail has been configured to deliver to ~username/Maildir via the following lines in /etc/procmailrc :-

MAILDIR=$HOME DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Maildir/

Everything is working fine except a little cosmatic problem. It seems that procmail creates the files in the Maildir/new in some randomly generated form which does not run in sequence of date.

So when I tried to access my INBOX via courier imapd, the emails come out in some sequence, not sorted according to date but accoriding to some other squence and becomes quite difficult to read as some later emails will come infront of earlier ones and vice versa.

Has anyone encountered such a problem before or know of any possible solution to the problem?

Thanks!
