[Dovecot] POP3 Setup help

I am lost as to what I am missing. I am setting up dovecot 2.0.9 on a RHEL
6.4 machine as provided by my provider. I have IMAP up and running, and I
have POP3 up and running. Testing confirms this. Also, if it makes a
difference, I enabled dovecot as my LDA. Sendmail was setup as well due to
our 1.x version using it and I though I had to. Anyway, everything is
working perfectly with the services, except the mail is sending to the
wrong location for POP. I am trying to use Maildir for both services, but
it keeps delivering the POP3 mail to /var/spool/mail/u% instead of to
Maildir as specified in the configuration files. I have rechecked every
setting at least twice and still can't see what I am doing wrong. I
suppose I can use mbox and redirect after making the appropriate namespace
changes, but that has it's own potential drawbacks and seems more like a
kludge than the correct way around this (unless I misunderstand how it
should work). Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix
this?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Higgins
