Last time I checked, procmail cannot be forced to deposit mail into arbitrary places in the file system.
Sure? :-?
No. I don't use it myself, I see little point in it. I only remember the last time someone wanted procmail to do something out of the ordinary, and it wasn't easy. Even very experienced procmail users failed to come up with an answer
I think it can store in any folder, provided the user for which the email is destined owns the folder, because thats the user procmails runs under. The /etc/procmailrc is processed as root (except when using postfix), so it can access any place.
All mailboxes are owned by user cyrus, only root and cyrus can work with the mailboxes, everything is stored in /var/spool/imap and there are caches and other things that I really doubt procmail would be able to do the right thing with. The naming scheme is also non-standard. Altogether too many hoops to jump through for no benefit at all. sieve works, for almost all purposes
