For procmail, $MAILDIR is the default location of mail folders.
Typically this is ~/Mail, or ~/mail. You probably do not want it
to be pointing to ~/Maildir, unless you plan to having actual mail
folders (mbox style or maildir style, either) under the directory
~/Maildir
You likely want to do this instead:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir
> :0
> $MAILDIR/new/.
Here's the second problem. With the maildir patch to procmail (at least
the one I use), maildir folders are handled just like mbox folders.
That means you do *not* specify the "new" in the folder name. I think
you may place an ending / there, to make it obvious it's a maildir, but
if the folder exists and is a maildir that isn't a requirement. I'm not
sure how procmail behaves if the folder doesn't yet exist, the trailing
/ could have an effect then.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
