Procmail will take care of saving messages in different inbox for you.
To make that the default spool mailbox for mutt, you will have to set
the "spoolfile" variable instead of "mbox" variable like:

set spoolfile=+Inbox

BTW, for the correct expansion of "+" to "~/mail", you will also have to
set the folder variable to "~/mail" like:

set folder="~/mail"

That, with procmail, would be what the doctor ordered.
