Judging from your previous post where deliver tried to write to /root/Maildir/, I suppose your mail will be found in ~thufir/Maildir/new/ .
Now Postfix is fine, Dovecot seems to be fine also. Your remaining issue is with "mail". If it's old BSD mailx, that is not very configurable. Consider other choices, such as mutt, alpine, or Heirloom mailx.
Thanks, it's right there:

11 we'll see if this goes through.thufir@dur:~$
and it even looks like Evolution's supported :)
thanks again for the help with what turned not to be dovecot at all.
