Now I'm wondering if there is some way that I can re-direct the mail in/var/spool/mail/<mymbox> so that it goes through the system as though it were just arriving? I mean, so that it gets distributed into the correct folders under ~/Maildir , as specified in .procmailrc .
Ah, yes. I apologize for not reading that more comprehensively.
You want "formail", a part of the procmail package. I think something like this:
su <user> -c "formail -s procmail" < /var/spool/mail/<user>
