Looks okay. Setting spoolfile may not be necessary; at least I don't
have it.

I have:
set folder="imap://imap.domain/INBOX."
with a dot at the end, which may or may not be relevant.
Anyway, to access the folder imap://imap.domain/INBOX.Debian (my place
for mail from the debian-user list) I would type:
c=Debian
'=' refers to your 'folder' setting. Typing
c=<TAB>
should give the list of folders. (Try pressing the <TAB> key a few
times to see what happens.)
Hm, I wonder if your procmail recipe actually sends your mails to your
home directory instead of to your imap server. That's surely what it
looks like to me. Then in your muttrc you may have to add:
mailboxes ~/Mail/
and maybe directly:
mailboxes ~/Mail/lists/debian-user
That assumes that your mail server and mutt run on the same computer.
In my .procmailrc I have:
--------------
DELIVERTO="/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver"
DEFAULT="$DELIVERTO -a ${LOGNAME} -m user.${LOGNAME}"
# File mail to debian-user mailing list:
:0
* ^TO_.*debian-user.*@lists.debian.org.*
|${DEFAULT}.Debian
--------------
This uses cyrus as imap server. Maybe you want something like that.
Well, that's enough info for now. :)
