mutt and [al]pine support imap, and dovecot works more efficiently if
you don't modify, or deliver to, the mail store without going through
imap or deliver.  


BTW no-one has mentioned getmail. getmail can deliver to an mda or
maildir and pipe though spam/virus filters itself. In combination
with the sieve support in dovecot deliver you can drop procmail
altogether.
