Umm, the whole point of maildir is that it doesn't move, it *should* stay where it is.
I don't understand this comment, since I never suggested/recommended moving anything.
If you want, you could configure evolution to copy the mail using a filter, like you might with imap.
Are you referring to plain old "filter emails to sub-folders based on things like mailing list, family email addresses, etc", or some- thing else? I use maildrop hooked into postfix as an MUA-independent filter. It's got a rational "filter description language", unlike procmail's line noise.

Have Evolution running on same box, as my mail client. Previously, I used POP, with the behavior that I could remove the mail from the Maildir and store it in local (i.e. Evolution-style) directories. I recently switched to mail delivery via the Maildir format (thinking why use POP from the same machine that the mail server's running on). But, the mail stays stored in the Maildir. I suppose this is expected behavior. Is there a way to use Maildir delivery with Evolution, and have it behave like POP in that you can pull the mail from the "server" into "local" directories, and delete the mail on the server?Yes, but you need an aggravating work-around. If qmail drops each mail into ~/Maildir, then you should think about installing Courier IMAP, and then having Evo access mail via IMAP. Works great for me, and is MUA-independent, so if Evo ever gets cantankerous, you can still read your email.
