Well, evo doesn't work since I made your suggested changes back to
~Maildir/.     I don't even get mail in my Inbox anymore.
  Let me go over the current status of settings, we must have missed 
something.

Postfix and procmail:
    Now deliver once again to /home/robert/Maildir/.
    As evidence to this fact, KMail received my last email, evo would
not see it.  I did try evo first before KMail.

Evolution
        Under Tools/Settings/Mail Accounts/Edit/Receiving mail/

        Server type:  Maildir-format mail directories
        Path:  /home/robert/Maildir/

        Local Folders - Inbox / Properties:
                Set to maildir ( Maildir-format mail directories)

That's the best I can offer for now.  I even checked permissions on all
pertinent directories from ~Maildir/ to ~evolution/local/Inbox/ and they
are all the same. (700)
