Dovecot is delivering mail to my ~/.mail directory wonderfully. But /var/mail/michael is growing steadily.
Something must be delivering there. I'm sure dovecot is not delivering any mail, so it can't be delivering to ~/.mail :) Maybe you need to configure your MTA (exim,postfix,sendmail,....) to deliver to ~/.mail?
Is it the job of Dovecot to purge this file regularly? Is there a setting somewhere for this?
No. You can, however, make dovecot read /var/mail/michael as INBOX and put the other folders in ~/.mail, but personally I recommend against this and suggest changing the delivery agent (MTA, see above; or maybe maildrop, procmail, ...) to deliver to ~/.mail instead.
