I found how to do umask for procmail, you add a line to the
~/.procmailrc UMASK=007.

I did that and found that the file that gets created in the 'new'
sub-dir has file permissions of -rw-rw----

When I check for new mail I can tell that there is a new message in
that folder, however when I click on that folder there doesn't appear
to be any new messages. After checking it out it appears the person
linking in to the shared folder can't get the mail to move from the
'new' dir to the 'cur' dir.

I may have to check out the Courier team to get into the inner
workings of Courier to work out why when given all the correct
permissions that it doesn't move the mail like it should.

I will mail the results of what I find.
