I did have success in getting my mail accounts converted from mbox to

settings for my LDA, which as I am using sendmail is procmail, and it
was suggested that I needed to adjust /etc/procmail to include the lineDEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
I did that, but new mail still didn't show up correctly. I can only
assume that I have something still not properly adjusted in my
procmail settings. [...]
In each users Home directory I have a .procmailrc file that further
directs things on a user level. For my directory this file is currently[dan@trailrunner ~]$ cat .procmailrc MAILDIR=$HOME/mail

This makes procmail deliver mail into mbox format files. You most likely want delivery action lines like this: .probably-spam/
Note the leading dot and the trailing slash. That makes procmail use Maildir format. You will have to adjust each and every delivery action. Please see 'man procmailrc'.
Moreover, your ${PROBABLYJUNK} variable doesn't match your ${DEFAULT}. You'd better not provide absolute, full paths there.
Given the above snippets, I guess procmail actually *did* deliver your mail. It's just been dumped in mbox format files, which dovecot with your changed settings doesn't recognize. And probably scattered in multiple directories...
