It also wants to see maildir mailboxes; so you'll want to set maildir_home in exim configuration. I believe newer courier can deliver to mbox but it's not efficient. I actually transitioned from courier to dovecot recently as dovecot is much more efficient handling large maildirs. If you are going to use maildir ensure that you have your /home on a file system that will handle plenty of inodes, symbolic links and lots of small files.
