Yes. POP email works fine with Maildir for me. I am using dovecot-0.99.10.5-1 which was on the development tree of Fedora. Though I would think the one that came stock with Fedora 2 should work as well. I have no reason to think it won't.
One note. I don't use POP that much. I have one person who uses it and they haven't complained.
So if all the mail is moved to Maildir (thus eliminating the typical mailspool), and somebody pop's onto the server, Dovecot will use the Maildir/Inbox for the pop?
Yes it will. If you read the mail-storages.txt documentation file it talks about it. I would read the section on "Detecting what to use".
I did NOT set the default_mail_env variable in my /etc/dovecot.conf and it figured it out automagically :)
Good luck, John
