Dovecot uses Maildir format (not mbox), so if you install ISPConfig on the server, please make sure you enable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email. ISPConfig will then do the necessary configuration.
Since I'm ssh'd in to the box and X isn't installed, what's the CLI to accomplish this?
You'll probably want to ask the ISPConfig folks.

If it were an ISPConfig question, I would...I simply was asking what the matching command line was for a corresponding action in X. Please let me know if I'm wrong, but this isn't OT, nor is it ISPConfig related.
what is the question then? is it how to configure dovecot to use maildir or how to configure the MTA (postfix, sendmail, ...) to deliver to maildir or how to configure the MDA (maildrop, procmail, ...) to deliver to maildir?
if it's to configure dovecot to use maildir instead of mbox, then the dovecot list and docs are a better place. the short answer is something like mail_location = maildir:/var/Mail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir in dovecot.conf. but we cannot reproduce dovecot documentation here.
but you'd better have the MTA or MDA deliver to the same place. the easy way is to use dovecot LDA as your delivery agent.
