"new mail" as in you don't see any mail at all?  If so, do you see any
groups in the server buffer for the server?

Or "new mail" as in the unread number in the group buffer is wrong?
If so, are you sure your IMAP server works with procmail?  I believe
UoW's server add "hidden" messages with control information, and
X-IMAP: headers, to your mailboxes.  Unless procmail adds these, the
server may get confused.  I think there are some workaround for this
problem in nnimap (it does select + unselect + select mailbox to
possibly get server to re-initialize mailbox status) but they probably
aren't enough to work around all problems.
