I'm not familiar with using Courier IMAP, but I don't think it makes a 
difference to procmail.  / should mean / on the filesystem.  I would 
change it to $DEFAULT or $ORGMAIL

Since I use UW IMAP, I have procmail filter all my Linux lists to a 
subdirectoy of my home directory:

:0:
* ^(To|Cc).*(ma-linux@|dclug@|clue-.*@|um-linux@|lists.debian.org)
$HOME/mail/Linux


This seems to work well with Thunderbird, because you can set the 
namespace to a subdirectory like mail/.  Then again, I guess Courier 
takes care of all that for you.
