If everything is configured properly procmail is the process that puts 
the mail in the mailbox.  Your MTA (sendmail, postfix, etc) should be 
configured to deliver the mail to procmail, which puts it in the right 
IMAP folder. 

It may be that the procmail rule is not working as you expected.  You 
can debug the problem by setting "LOGFILE=$HOME/foo.log" and 
"VERBOSE=YES" in your .procmailrc file.
