The ~/.procmailrc should be something like:
----8<-------------------
MAILDIR=${HOME}/Mail
DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/inbox/
:0
* ^From:.*walt
.walt/
----8<-------------------
The important line is
DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/
with the / at the end and of course you must do ONE time by hand a
mkdir -p $HOME/Mail/inbox/{tmp,cur,new}
