It was probably my own fault. Timo Sirainen noticed Edgardo Pezoa was
using MH style filenames. And I did the same thing. My main inbox
configured in procmail was $HOME/Maildir/new and it should be
$HOME/Maildir/ (notice the slash at the end). Now, new mails have
filenames such as  1107960126.14681_2.hive:2, instead of msg.uC:2,S. I
never had this problem with courier so I didn't thought it could be a
configuration error.

Thanks everyone for the help.
