No, it never did that. You don't have directories in /var/spool/mail,
you have mail spool files. Sendmail will create one for a valid
user if it doesn't already exist.

popclient will drop it into /var/spool/mail/$USER, and most mailers
will look there for mail first. In a sense, it looks like you already
know "how", you just need to try it.
Also, don't use popclient. Get the fetchmail RPM from
ftp.redhat.com:/pub/contrib/RPMS and use that instead. Much
better...
