good for you, but it still will not work.
MAILDIR is a variable (*usually* set to where you store your mail, not
where mail is delivered)
procmail delivers to $DEFAULT, not $MAILDIR
on *my* system
DEFAULT = /var/spool/mail/{USER}
MAILDIR = $HOME/mail
mail which matches *no* recipe falls thru to $DEFAULT
mail *matching* a recipe is *normally* delivered to $MAILDIR/<some-folder>
procmail is a "Local Delivery Agent", LDA
mutt is an email client/reader+

MAILDIR="$HOME/Email/Mailbox"
DEFAULT="$MAILDIR/Inbox"
:0:
* .*
Inbox
With the above vars, the recipie is supervulous as the mail will be
delivered to $DEFAULT anyway (note that all recipies *require* a
condition), but:
:0:
* ^Sender.*mutt.org
$MAILDIR/mutt.users
will deliver mutt-list mail to $HOME/Email/Mailbox/mutt.users, and all
*other* mail to $HOME/Email/Mailbox/Inbox
and we are back on-topic, mutt
