I use a similar setup, except that I have all the procmail spools named
the same as the nnml groups they get sucked into (no suffix).  I manage
them with some shell aliases (tcsh) and a pair of perl scripts.

The aliases:

if ($?prompt) then
	set maildir="$HOME/Mail/spool"
	set mail="$maildir/inbox"
	alias m "subj -f $mail"
	alias mb "subj -f $maildir/\!:1"
	alias mt "subj -f $mail | tail"
	alias mtb "subj -f $maildir/\!:1 | tail"
	alias mnt "subj -f $mail | cat -n | tail"
	alias mntb "subj -f $maildir/\!:1 | cat -n | tail"
	alias mn "subj -f $mail | cat -n"
	alias mnb "subj -f $maildir/\!:1 | cat -n"
	alias mm less -+E +G -e $mail
	alias mmb less -+E +G -e $maildir/\!:1
endif

The perl scripts are attached.  One's for X displays (uses Tk); the other
is for command lines.  They're fairly self explanatory (especially the
second one).

The Tk one has a few leftovers from earlier versions that used cute little
icons instead of colors; just ignore them... :)
