When I install an imap server, I loose access to my present emails in ~/Mail and most imap-servers (dovecot included) seems to create a new structure within ~/Mail. ~/Maildir is a symlink to ~/Mail.
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Mail
However Dovecot expects the maildir to be in Maildir++ format. See "Directory Structure" in http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir
You'll have to rename your existing mailboxes to the Maildir++ layout format, or Dovecot won't see them.

Don't ever add the "new" to procmailrc! See the "procmail problems" section in the wiki page.
