hello every body
How can I split my local mail box into an individual files for each mail.
The senario of mine is I fetch some emails from a mail server into my local linux box with fetchmail command but I want each fetched mail in a different indivitual file for easy file processing and manipulation for example sending those email through sms and so on.
What is the solution.

Thanks A lot for any help. I

Hi,

You can use procmail to filter incoming email based on various criteria, such as subject, sender etc. And define the actions you want to perform on this mail (store it, run a script and so on)
