I don't understand. Why can't you just keep them in Evo? You will
presumably need to change the target folder names to the new ones,
that's all. Procmail doesn't enter into it (unless you're already using
it of course, but note that it's been unsupported for many years).

I think I need to explain my current setup.

My emails are received by sendmail which hands it over to procmail which writes it into an mbox. I then configured Evolution for 'Local Delivery' i.e. it reads the mbox and write it 'into folders managed by Evolution'. So something like this:

Sendmail ---> Procmail --->(mbox)<---- Evolution--->(Evol Folders in maildir format)

If I were to change to IMAP it would become like this:

Sendmail---> Procmail-->(maidir)<-----via IMAP----- Evolution

So are you saying that filters in Evolution can move emails to IMAP subfolders? So procmail just need to write them to the main Inbox?
