The default unix mbox format (with support_mbx) will do very nicely ;)

If the mailbox is empty, a new one will be created when exim appends to it.

This (below) will append mail for a user to a mbox folder user-mydomain.com
(which would be your pop username) - a simple kludge to support virtual
domains on our pop server.
# popmail-qualified transport user-domain.com@???
popmail_qualified:
driver = appendfile
file = /home/popmail/var/spool/mail/${lc:$local_part}-${domain}
quota = 5M
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
# file_must_exist
group = mail
allow_symlink
mode = 0660
user = popmail
That 'file must exist', if uncommented, will refuse to deliver to an empty
mailbox. Using this, you'd better verify that you are _not_ accepting mail for
unknown users, or mail to <any-random-string@???> will create a mbox
called any-random-string-yourdomain.com
