qmail-pop3d only works with maildirs.

Sorry, that's not possible. You'll either need to use maildirs or
switch to a POP daemon like Solid[1].

You'll need to use /bin/mail, procmail, or some other local delivery
agent. qmail-local only delivers to $HOME.

Yeah. :-)

Wait a minute...I thought you said you had to use /var/spool/mail, not
$HOME. Which is it?

Correct.

Something like:
for i in `find Maildir -type f -print`; do
echo >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
echo "root@localhost Wed Sep 27 13:39:32 2000" >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
sed 's/^From/>From/' $i >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
done
Which is completely untested and likely to Kill Your Dog (tm)[2].

No.
So why do you want to use mbox? Maildir is superior.
