     Folder: bounced                               

My .procmailrc folders are defined as

VERBOSE=on
LINEBUF=4096
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir                         #make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/.Inbox/
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=all

My .muttrc folders are

set mbox_type=Maildir
set mbox=~/Maildir/.Inbox/
set folder=~/Maildir/
set record="~/Maildir/.Sent/"
set spoolfile=~/Maildir/

Why is my procmail not filtering or recognising Maildir ?

Unless I am mistaken, you posted essentially the same question
24 hours ago.  Meanwhile, Bart Schaefer and, I believe, a
couple of others commented on some misunderstandings of yours
WRT "Maildir" and procmail.  Did you read those replies?

Specifically, you shouldn't have $MAILDIR in your DEFAULT
assignment.  I don't think that is what is the cause of your
problem, but it's a side observation.  The shell equivalent
of your syntax would be something like

  set DEFAULT="`cd .`/.Inbox/"

The next point somebody already mentioned is that you almost
certainly don't need that PATH assignment, as it should be
compiled into your procamil.  Exceptions are rare to this
generality.

Other than that (and that's not your main problem), it's hard 
to tell what's going wrong, because the log snippet you've
included is too late in the run to show us where the problem
lies.  You need to include the part of the log extract that
shows where procmail is handling your message before
it assigns "bounced".
