Procmail -does- handle Maildir, at least, the version i'm using :) (procmail
v3.22 2001/09/10 on a Debian woody-system)
I'm using it also with Courier-IMAP, and the global procmailrc on my system
starts with this one:

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

When a '/' is put at the end of a folder-name, procmail assumes it's in
Maildir-format.
