Do you have something like this in your .bashrc/.zshrc (whatever shell
you use)?
--
export MAIL=$HOME/Mail/Incoming

The above will make sure that unless otherwise told..all your mail will
end up in the file/directory that you choose.
I have all my mail by default dump into a file called Incoming..you
could use inbox if you wished. Procmail will follow it's rules, but if
there is no rule then it goes into ~/Mail/Incoming.
I have the same procmail entries as you discribe above and I've never
lost a piece of mail.
I would check to see if your Mail dirctory is specified in your . file. :)
