On my home one, I left it blank.
On a system at another site, I have it set to "~/Maildir"

My inbox mail appears to be in ~/Maildir/cur (and ~Maildir/new). However 
I also appear to have a ".INBOX" containing a few test messages. I 
suspect these are either Outlook's fault or I did it with a bad 
.procmailrc setup.

Hope that helps you a bit.
