I use something very similar: I read the Maildirs directly on my mx server using mutt but use imap from my Mac to the server also using mutt and ssh tunnel; however, I do use procmail in conjunction with Dovecot lda which delivers to and creates Maildirs if they don't exist.
Just FYI, procmail can create the maildirs itself as well: If the mailbox is specified to be an MH folder or maildir folder, procmail will create the necessary directories if they don't exist, rather than treat the mailbox as a non-existent filename. When procmail is delivering to directories, you can specify mul‐ tiple directories to deliver to (procmail will do so utilising hardlinks).
