Trying to set up mutt/console mail

Question

I am at the wiki and specifically here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt#Sorting_Mail
I have getmail working with my Gmail, and just tried to set up procmail but it didn't seem to work. Where it indicates to create and edit the .procmail file, it doesn't specify where to put this file? I just put it in ~/.getmail/  as a best guess. I edited the file and ran getmail which continues to work but there is no sorting. Then in console I saw:
You have new mail in /var/mail/bobby
But I'm confused at this point as it's not sorting or I can't see how it is. I have ~/mail set up as per the wiki as well as /mail/cur, tmp and new. :?
TIA for any help

Thanks guys, and smurnjiff I have followed your blog posts but still cannot get it working. Here's my relevant files/settings (only have one gmail account):
.mutt/muttrc
set realname='Me'
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set edit_headers=yes
set folder=~/mail
set mbox=+mbox
set spoolfile=+inbox
set record=+sent
set postponed=+drafts
set mbox_type=Maildir
mailboxes +inbox +others
~/.procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox/
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
:0:
* ^To: [email protected]
foldername
~/.msmtprc
# gmail
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
protocol smtp
auth on
from [email protected]
user [email protected]
password something
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_trust_file ~/.certs/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.cer
I run mutt and get this at the bottom of the mutt screen:
---Mutt: (no mailbox) [Msgs:0]---(date/date)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(all)---
/home/bobby/mail/inbox: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
However if I do mkdir ~/mail/inbox I get this in mutt:
---Mutt: (no mailbox) [Msgs:0]---(date/date)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(all)---
/home/bobby/mail/inbox is not a mailbox.
