IMAP-UW comes with a tool named 'dmail' that you can call from your 
procmail scripts to deliver mail to any of the mailbox formats it supports.

So I'll use dmail in my procmail recipe with something like this:

:0:
* ^List-Post:.*pctech@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
| dmail +mail/IN-l-pctech

Since I have procmail configured as my default mail delivery program, 
all accounts on the system are using procmail for delivery.  Since mail 
is read through either alpine or IMAP-UW, both of which are based on the 
same cclient library (as is dmail) for working with mail, I have no 
conflicts.

But, I definitely plan to run MIX on a test box for awhile before 
converting the company's e-mail!
