You will have to read the procmail docs for this. I use Maildrop instead. I expect that you create the maildir directories and put a slash on the end of the path in procmail's config file. There is a program, maildirmake, that will create the maildir folders, or you can create them by hand. It may be in courier-maildrop package.
