If mutt and procmail have a proper sense of $HOME/Mail/ as the Maildir
root, then this should work:

cmpalmer@garp:~$ grep ^mailboxes .mutt/muttrc
mailboxes + +lists +logwatch +logrotate +cron +mirror +nagios +rhn +rttix 
+webmaster +todo

So that first "+" is my inbox, and here's an example from my .procmailrc:

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

:0
* ^TO_webmaster@(ibiblio.org|metalab.unc.edu)
$MAILDIR/.webmaster/

So yours would be "$HOME/Mail" instead of "$HOME/Maildir" but
otherwise very similar.

Hope that helps,
