Have Verio got procmail filtering email _before_ or _after_ mail is
written to the INBOX?

IMHO: it should be setup so that those who are using procmail can
conditionally control what goes into their INBOX. Thus procmail should
be responsible for eventually routing the mail via DEFAULT to the
INBOX folder. Procmail should not be being invoked _after_ mail has
made it's way to INBOX. That would be a pointless way to use Procmail.

So, which is it and why can anybody suggest am I getting mail on the
older shell8 box but not the new one?

And since I control the folders and use an IMAP client to read my
mail. I don't believe I should have to use
~/users/myusername/mail/INBOX as my $DEFAULT in procmail.

I would very much like a clarification as to who procmail has been
setup with qmail at Verio.
