I do:
   maildirmake -s write -f spam /home/mpierce/Maildir
   maildirmake -s write -f MailingList /home/mpierce/Maildir
   maildirmake -s write -f root-mail /home/mpierce/Maildir
      Folders are created.

I then do:
   cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.spam && chmod 700 *
   cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.MailingList && chmod 700 *
   cd /home/mpierce/Maildir/.root-mail && chmod 700 *
      All file permissions are created (root-mail shown below):

The chmods are not necessary.

drwxr-xr-t    5 mpierce  mpierce       152 Sep 10 22:03 .
drwx------    9 mpierce  mpierce       264 Sep 10 22:03 ..
drwx------    2 mpierce  mpierce        48 Sep 10 22:03 cur
-rwx------    1 mpierce  mpierce         0 Sep 10 22:03 maildirfolder
drwx------    2 mpierce  mpierce        48 Sep 10 22:03 new
drwx------    2 mpierce  mpierce        48 Sep 10 22:03 tmp

I then launch mail client (Evolution). All I see is INBOX and underneath
my inbox is Trash which exists as /home/mpierce/Maildir/.Trash

Why don't the other folders show?

I need them to show so I can go onto next step of implementing procmail.

Perform the following simple test:

# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.sent-mail"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts"
a OK LIST completed

If you see your own folders, then the problem is confined to Evolution.
