Obvious, as this is linux: check the log. :-)
/var/log/mail*
That logfile contains lines such as:

"delivered to maildir" is the important message here.
Edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf and comment out line 423:
home_mailbox = Maildir/

Done. Many thanks, Per.
Ouch! Now I'm getting a test message from cron once a minute. My inbox is overflowing! :( I'm sure this didn't happen on previous installations, when I've opted to receive system mail. I can't find anything in the postfix main.cf file to help me adjust this behaviour. As a matter of interest, when I tick the box to receive system mail at installation time, which parameter in which file actually gets changed?
