[ingo] My ingo filters don't seem to be working

[Kevin Hanser]

Ok, that seems to have helped a little bit.

However, once I did as you suggested, my mail just started 
disappearing!  Didn't
show up in inbox, or any other folder.

I checked my mail logs to make sure that the mail was being received and
processed, and sure enough it was.  I then looked in my home directory, and I
found the problem.  With the procmail recipies that ingo is creating, it's
delivering the messages into mbox files _directly in my home 
directory_.  On my
machine, my mail folders all reside in a subdir of my home directory, mail.
Ingo however is just dumping them into folders in my main home directory.

I'm using dovecot as my IMAP server, and according to the IMP docs for 
dovecot,
you set the default mail folder to ''.  (since dovecot takes care of that
itself in its config I guess, and places them into the mail subdir).  Could
this be why ingo is delivering to my home directory instead of the mail
directory?  Is it getting that setting of '' from the IMP setup, and then
assuming that my mail folders should be there too?

For now, I have manually edited my .procmailrc to add mail/ to the 
front of each
folder that it's to be dropped into, and that seems to do the trick.

It seems that maybe ingo needs an option to allow the user to specify what
subdir your mail folders reside in, so that it writes the procmail recipies to
get the messages in the right place....  Maybe have the option of using 
the IMP
default, or manually typing it in yourself...?
