This is a sign you are saving in maildir format.
Its probably not related, but I noticed with my NFS4 mount that I can't
use dot locking. I had to use fcntl instead.
Here is what I've configured:
# postconf -n
home_mailbox = mail/
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
[snipped for clarity]
home_mailbox takes precidence over mail_spool_directory. When either
has end with /, maildir is used.
# dovecot -n
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.el6.i686 i686 CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
However your POP3/IMAP server is looking for mbox format.
Suggest removing, commenting out the home_mailbox parameter if you want
to use mbox to have local(8) save INBOX messages to /var/spool/mail.
