Courier and Maildrop will deliver to a maildir, but they won't create
one. If the maildir doesn't exist, Courier creates an mbox instead.

It looks like the problem is that you have set DEFAULTDELIVERY to be
'$HOME/Maildir', but in your mailbox DB, you set the maildir to be
'$HOME'. IMO, having the homedir double as the maildir just causes
confusion.
Change the maildir field in the DB to be
'/usr/local/virtual/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Maildir'.
Then logon as the user who owns your virtual accounts and do this to
create the maildir:
cd /usr/local/virtual/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
maildirmake Maildir
You will need to copy any existing mail from './new', './cur',
'./.Trash', and any other maildir directories into the corresponding
directory under './Maildir'.
This should get the mail to be delivered to the proper place. With
this setup, your virtual user's home directories look like real user
directories and Courier finds the maildir where it expects it.
Alternately, if you really want to keep the setup you have, you can
try doing this:
DEFAULTDELIVERY=.
or perhaps this:
DEFAULTDELIVERY=$HOME
(untested)
