Almost. It should be $HOME/Maildir/. Without the trailing / procmail
assumes an mbox folder.

Correct.

Same here. I haven't figured out either. I *think* it might have
something to do with the way mutt opens the mailbox. With mbox style,
it only has to open the one file and count lines. With maildir, it has
to open each file and *then* count lines. With a big mailbox, this can
take a while. My guess is the conversion script added a header with a
line count, which mutt looks for.
If there is a way to get mutt to show size with maildir, I'd like to know
what it is! :)
