I did even more, adding a couple of explicit namespaces as explained in the wiki:
namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:%h/Maildir } namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:%h/MBox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u hidden = no }
I see, that's the difference then. Namespaces are currently supported only with IMAP. POP3 still uses only default_mail_env.
Without this of course Dovecot doesn't understand that the INBOX is in mbox format and the user repository is instead in Maildir format. If I undesrtand properly the comments in the sample configuration file default_mail_env has no effect when such namespaces are set. BTW I also tried with default_mail_env uncommented and set to empty to no avail.
Try setting it to mbox:%H/MBox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and then pop3 should find the mails too.
