must be possible to set that in your procmail-settings, but changing the
MAIL-env. in /etc/login.conf is also an idea (check "man login.conf"
and "man cap_mkdb")

for maildir it looks like this in my /usr/local/etc/procmailrc :

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/

perhaps "man procmailex" shows options for mbox-format style delivery

yes, you have to change this in the config of Openwebmail as well
