3 | Thank you. Opera is a client but it doesn't understand the system of
4 | mboxes or maildirs that Pine uses - at least not as far as I've been able
5 | to discover. It can talk to IMAP or POP servers but doesn't seem to have a
6 | place for procmail to dump the mail to. With Pine I can tell it to use
7 | the local mail folders where mail is dumped after it's fetched and
8 | processed by procmail.

10 | I've liked the fetchmail->procmail setup as I can have procmail process
11 | the mail in many ways and even though Opera can do much of that I'ld like
12 | to keep this process.

14 OK, sorry, I remember now why I gave up using opera!

16 What you can do is setting up a mail server, (postfix, exim, qmail) as an
17 imap server on your machine. Fetchmail keeps its business as before, now
18 feeding your mail server; you can point opera to your server.
19
20 Procmail would not be used in this case, but you can organize folders
21 within opera...
22
23 Pine would still be able to read mail from your server
