If you say ".INBOX.Design/new", procmail writes the messages in "MH"
format, which kind of works with maildir, but it behaves slightly
differently so that if you leave it on, you'll start getting "expunged
mail reappeared" errors from Dovecot.

So, ".INBOX.Design/" is the right way to do it for maildir..
