Yes it should, but maybe you have an old version of procmail that
doesn't support Maildir. The latest version is 3.14, and versions
before that don't support it.
The reason why it "kind of" works is that procmail does support MH
(or whatever the folder format is) which has files in one directory,
and it treats that folder/new dir as a MH mail folder. But the names
that the files get aren't "proper" Maildir files, and also you end up
having to specify the new subdir too. There might be other issues
there too. So it's better to use a version that has proper Maildir
support, at least I recommend that.
