I've just set up a new box and got my mail working.
My .procmailrc (part of it) looks like this:

  PATH     = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.

I never have a PATH setting in a .procmailrc. Do you need it?


  MAILDIR  = /newStore/mail/   # Youd better make sure it exists

$MAILDIR shouldn't end in a slash.

Are you sure that the directory "/newStore/mail" exists, or did you mean
"$HOME/newStore/mail"?


  DEFAULT  = $MAILDIR/Inbox
  LOGFILE  = $MAILDIR/logFile

Why the $LOGFILE inside $MAILDIR? Maybe something like "newStore/pmlog"
is better.


  LOCKFILE = $HOME/.lockmail

Why the rc-wide locking?


Yet the mail gets delivered to $HOME/<mailbox> instead of
/newStore/mail/<mailbox>

Did you check the logfile? For debugging, put

    VERBOSE     = ON
    LOGABSTRACT = ALL

in the start of your $HOME/.procmailrc.
