I do but it's only because I don't want mail that is not caught by the
filters to go to my system mailbox which is /var/mail/<username>.
Instead I set up a DEFAULT mailbox which is $HOME/mail/INCOMING.

Also I notice that your DEFAULT mailbox is a hidden (dot) file. Don't
know if that is a problem, but you might try unhiding it. 

The above may not addresses your problem. Post the contents of
your .procmailrc file. If you wish you can delete the filters.
