Default [courier-users] Mail delivered as flat files in place of maildirs

I installed Courier on Ubuntu (Gutsy) today. After making very few changes
to the configuration via the web management interface (and then to
iptables) I succesfully got mail delivered, but as a single flat file of
concatenated email messages in the user's home directory named Maildir. I
want it delivered as maildirs.

I have tried unsuccessfully to find solutions to this problem in the
courier documentation, FAQs, and elsewhere. I would greatly appreciate any
help with this problem. How is the choice of delivery method made? What
does maildrop (I don't think I'm using maildrop) do when there is not a
filter file either in /etc or $HOME (this is absent from the maildrop man
page, which should probably be rectified).

Thanks,

Cedric

Here's every reference to Maildir in my configuration.
