Rmail is dead. It supports neither IMAP nor messages with multiple
attachments, and its customized way of saving all downloaded email in a
local RMAIL file rather than a standard mbox or maildir format is
incompatible with almost everything else out there. It also had an
incredible problem of storing a full copy of your mail spool in RMAIL~,
overflowing your local disk, and then pulling in the contents of the old
RMAIL~ into the new RMAIL and repeating the problem in a way that made the
buffer too large for Emacs to handle, and which you had to trim down to size
with vi or something lighter weight. [ I went through this last year with
some researchers to get them off of POP and over to IMAP server based
mail.... ]

I strongly urge Rmail users to look at gnus or one of the mail handling
packages written this century, which is now available under emacs and does
plenty of good threading and handling of formats that are more common
today.

You use procmail up front on the mail server, if feasible.
