You only need the {cur,tmp,new} subdirectories for actual mailboxes. If
you don't intend to use "~/Maildir" directly as a mailbox, there's no
need for those directories.

procmail creates new mailboxes automatically, you just need to tell it
to to use the Maildir format. Here's what
/usr/share/doc/procmail/README.Maildir says on my system:
This version of procmail supports Maildir folders.
To make procmail to deliver into a Maildir folder, just append
a slash (/) to the name of the maildir folder in your ~/.procmailrc file.
For example, the following rule:
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
debian-user/
will deliver all mail from the debian-user mailing list to the Maildir
folder "debian-user".
