Since late February any mail delivered to folders other than inbox using
procmail have been given ownership of "root:mail" instead of
"david:users" as it was previously. A new version of procmail was
installed on 21 Feb so I'm assuming thats caused this issue. Does anyone
have any ideas how to fix

2.24.
Unfortunately gnome-settings-daemon fails (silently).
