Procmail and Dovecot work fine together, since procmail knows how to 
write Maildir files. The difference in procmail recipes is subtle but 
easy to recognize:

Here's my traditional (mbox) recipe:

   :0:
   * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
   spam

And here's the Maildir version:

   :0
   * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
   .spam/

The trailing slash and leading dot are the key indicators, though it's 
the slash that tells procmail to use Maildir format.

If you'd like a .src.rpm of UW-IMAP 2006d, let me know. I'll send you 
a copy of mine, and you can tweak/build it as you like.
