This is not an IMAP or procmail problem really. Whether or not multiple
folders can be checked for incoming mail is a client (MUA) issue. For
instance pine has an incoming-folders entry in .pinerc. Any folders
listed there will be polled for new mail. I imagine other clients have a
similiar feature.
