I used popfile on my x86 and loved it. I'd really like to keep using it on my amd64 but portage has it masked. Has anyone been able to make it work?

I use popfile to file all of my mail into buckets, not just the spam and as far as I know popfile is the only one that does this and uses the local pop-server method to use it. These are the most important features to me so if you know of another program that could do this and run on amd64, that would be awesome too.

fetchmail + procmail ?

Works like a charm for me.
Plus procmail works very nicely with programs like spamassassin.

I tried bypassing the masks and emerging popfile...the real problem is when trying to emerge DBD::SQLite
It fails with:
t/06error...............dubious
Test returned status 0 (wstat 11, 0xb)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-2
Failed 2/2 tests, 0.00% okay

Looks like that program is a no-go for now.

Code:

emerge /usr/portage/mail-filter/popfile/popfile-0.21.1.ebuild


Report that it works to bugs.gentoo.org.

Can you use procmail with Ximian Evolution?

Code:
emerge /usr/portage/mail-filter/popfile/popfile-0.21.1.ebuild


Unfortunately this doesn't work, it requires DBD-SQLite, which fails when executing one of its tests. The error is most likely caused by the fact that DBD-SQLite does some casting of pointers to integers and the reverse. This results in a 32-bit 64-bit value conversion, which pretty much kills the software. I've attempted some fixes, but while I fixed a few warnings, it still fails on that one test.

As an example:
Code:
table.c: In function `sqlite_get_table':
table.c:153: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
table.c: In function `sqlite_free_table':
table.c:199: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size


Code:
t/06error...............dubious
        Test returned status 0 (wstat 11, 0xb)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-2
        Failed 2/2 tests, 0.00% okay

I went back and looked at how I installed...I did it from source, running popfile and filling in the Perl dependencies using cpan.

I've never used Ximian before but, I just checked their features page:
http://www.novell.com/products/evolution/features.html
Code:
Standard mailboxes
Import and read mailboxes in common mailbox formats such as Eudora, UNIX mbox, MH, Maildir, Netscape and Outlook Express


procmail will sort mail into files in the mbox format.

i'm rebuilding all of my perl installation now since it seems to work on your amd64.

Code:
root@eagad eagad $ cd /var/db/pkg/dev-perl/
root@eagad dev-perl $ ls -1 | sed -e 's/^/=dev-perl\//' | xargs emerge -p


Then I'm going to see if it works. If so, I'll post the bugs.gentoo.org to get it unmasked.

Thanks for you tip about procmail. I've looked into it and I think that for my situation it would be better to get popfile working, but I may end up back at procmail if this recompile falls through.
