The following is from my /etc/procmailrc file (and it works with
postfix, procmail, and dovecot)
With this setup all mails will go into ~/Maildir in maildir format.
Take a look at http://www.sm6rpz.se/mailserver.html for some more
information about my setup (at the moment it is a bit dated, i.e. use
the procmailscript below)

# To get maildir delivery

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
