You're really confused here.  A Maildir is not just an mbox named "Maildir".
They're fundamentally different.  Programs which expect mail to be stored
in mbox format in /var/spool/mail/$USER will not understand a Maildir there,
which is what you're trying to accomplish above.

Yes, qmail-pop3d does not understand anything but Maildirs.  So use
qpopper instead; it can use /var/spool/mail/$USER mboxes.
