I don't know why courier chooses to create an mbox format file called
Maildir, instead of just creating the Maildir. But there's no
configuration to change this as such. However, at the expense of an
extra test with each delivery, you could change your default delivery to
something like this:

"|test -d ./Maildir || maildirmake Maildir
./Maildir"

This will ensure that if a Maildir is missing, it is created
automatically before delivery.
