it's not for Courier IMAP, then you don't need the leading period. If
the directory already exists, procmail will use it.
You're tripping yourself up by specifying "/new" instead of letting
procmail do it.
This seems to be an undocumented feature (at least in the man pages) of

procmail. If I would hae bothered to check beyond the man pages, I would
have found this and other useful info regarding procmail and qmail
