I have the following lines in my .procmailrc file:

This creates a folder of up to 100 files, each with a recent email
message. It works very well.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my ISP and sometimes they dump my
inbox and I need to rely on my backup cache.
Don't use INBOX. I don't at my ISP. I have a INBOX_2 in my $HOME/mail
and I dump all the $DEFAULT stuff in there.
Or, maybe I don't understand your environment...
