Here is my ~/.procmailrc It should do what you want. Note that there is some
other stuff going on (virus / spam filtering) and the main processing into
folders takes place in a separate file called rc.mlists.
I have left many of the original comments in the file but note that I have
overridden the final section that says "Messages that fall through..." to read
"/home/user/Msgs" (my user Mail directory).

# IMPORTANT:
# * On most systems your $MAILDIR directory is a subdirectory of $HOME
# * Upon reading a line that contains MAILDIR=
# Procmail does a chdir to $MAILDIR

# ...and relative paths are relative to $MAILDIR
# * Do not include a trailing slash in your MAILDIR setting
# * The $MAILDIR directory must exist and be writable by your LOGNAME
