At this point I'm not sure if this is a procmail or pine

Bob,
You need to paste in the contents of your .procmailrc file if we are to
see if there is anything wrong with it.
If the only thing you changed is the MAILDIR variable then that will not
have any effect on the default delivery mailbox. Try
DEFAULT=$HOME/mail/username
or
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=username
Martin,
Thanks for the reply. The .procmailrc file is as follows:
SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=$HOME/Procmail/.procmail.log
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=/home/username/mail
LOGABSTRACT=all
# directory for storing procmail related files
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/duplicates.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/backup.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/testing.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/spamtrap.rc
I never have had a DEFAULT entry and it has been working
O.K. I suspect the default in the pine config file has
been taking care of it. Changed it to /home/username/mail/username
but it doesn't work.
