This was easy:
1) Convert /var/spool/mail/me to Maildir using mb2md -m
2) Redefined the INBOX variable in ~/.procmailrc to
INBOX=$HOME/Maildir/.inbox/new # to store all incoming mail in that
folder.
3) Added this fields to ~/.muttrc
set timeout = 10 # mutt 'presses' (like) a key for you
(while you're idle)
# each x sec to trigger the thing below.
set mail_check=5 # mutt checks for new emails on every
keystroke
# but not more often than once in 5
seconds.
set spoolfile = "~/Maildir/.inbox" # mutt will open this folder at
# startup.
