because the "to" in

	to "$HOME/$DEFAULT/.Wanadoo/"

and other places _ends_ processing. in short
    to mdir1
    to mdir2
    to mdir3
will only deliver to mdir1. and this doesn't change with
foreach or 
whatever construct you use.

you can achieve what you want by first building the list of
folders, 
using 'cc" for all but the last, where you would use
'to'. not very 
appealing...

why would do all this stuff?
- if your address appears in both To and CC, then you
probably received 
the message twice.
- BCC should not appear in received mail (this would defeat
its 
purpose). but assuming it is not, you would get yet another
copy.

if you can configure your MTA to generate a Delivered-To
header, then 
use this (and only this) to select the delivery folder.
since the 
message would be delivered N times, you will have it in all
the folders. 
thus achieving what you are trying to do.

Alternatively, let your MTA give the recipient as an
argument to 
maildrop and use this recipient to select the folder
(similar to above).
