Okay...

It *can*; you just have to configure things correctly. I'm guessing,
since mutt has no such restrictions, that this is a problem in your
procmailrc. Make sure that the inbox delivery line ends in a slash
(/), so that procmail knows that it needs to be in Maildir format.
(also, you'll need to move the existing inbox out of the way,
otherwise procmail will get mad).
> You know, a folder containing cur, new, and tmp.
That's a Maildir.
