Hm.  I think there's a list-folders command for mh-e.  A *long* time
ago, I wrote mh-f.el, the purpose of which being exactly to get an
overview over mails in different folders.  You might try it, get it
from ls6-ftp.cs.uni-dortmund.de:/pub/emacs.  Beware, though.  I now
use Gnus and mh-f is unsupported.

If you use Gnus, the nnmh backend might be for you, as the other
poster said.

However, I'd like to warn you that you're asking for trouble by having
procmail deliver mail directly into folders.  What happens if procmail
and you try to both write into the same folder at the same time?
You're going to lose mail, sooner or later.  At least with Gnus, you
are.  I'm unsure whether exmh and procmail lock the folders in a way
that they both understand.

If you intend to use Gnus for your mail reading, I advise you to tell
procmail to write its mail into spool files and to tell Gnus to get
the mail from the spool files into the folders.  You'll need to set
nnmail-use-procmail and nnmail-procmail-directory and
nnmail-procmail-suffix.  Let's say nnmail-use-procmail is t and
nnmail-procmail-directory is ~/proc.spool and nnmail-procmail-suffix
is ".in", then Gnus will read ~/proc.spool/foo.bar.in for incoming
mail for the foo.bar folder.
