I do the same thing, except with exim rather than procmail.

I've run into the same problem. Wait a few more days and you'll
see the first release of my new mail checking applet, PyBiff.
It's written entirely in Python (hence the name :). It lives in
your panel and displays how many new messages you have in any
number of configurable mailboxes. It will support a driver
mechanism allowing easy addition of new mailbox types. The first
release will support only IMAP mailboxes, but i'll be adding
drivers for POP3, mbox, and Maildir as time goes on.
