Is fetchmail running under the LocalSystem account?  If so, then perform
the following:

    chmod 777 e:/u/procmail

Can procmail write to e:/u/procmail/procmail.log when driven by
fetchmail now?  If so, does it indicate why procmail can't write to your
mail folders?

If fetchmail is running under your account, then I'm at a loss to explain
your observed behavior.
