Moving Mailboxes

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

The fact that it got replaced by a BOGUS file, I believe, is probably  
because of a permissions issue. One thing you can try is removing the  
procmail recipe and symlinking /whereveryourmailstoreis to another  
disk/partition with more space, for example.
