Is it possibe to copy any incoming mail into a folder in my

Put this in your .procmailrc:

MAILDIR=$HOME
:0c:
my_mailfile

:0:
$ORGMAIL

How can I start procmail via .forward and which entries in .procmailrc 
are necessary?

The .forward file is mentioned in the man page. It should read:

"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #YOUR_USERNAME"

(Replace YOUR_USERNAME by your login.)
