Why on earth would you think think that mutt would use procmail's
configuration? Would you expect procmail to use mutt's configuration?

The reason is that downloaded mail is placed in your mail spool. RTM, redefine
you mail spool, or explicitly change to you pop server (c, then
pop:[EMAIL PROTECTED]),
tag *, then save it where you want. Or, better, if you have a running MTA on
your system, and you appear to, use fetchmail to retrieve your mail. It
can run in the background, and it will forward to your MTA, which will
deliver to your mailboxes using procmail.

Unix boxes have a mail delivery system, you're just missing a picture
of how the pieces fit together to make that system.
