Neither and both. Exim by default delivers mail into mbox files in
/var/spool/mail or /var/mail but Courier-IMAP *probably* looks for mail
in a subdirectory of the user's home directory - ~/Maildir or ~/Mail or
~/mail, I don't know. You need to change the configurations to match.

You need to change the local_delivery transport like this:

local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = ${home}/Maildir (or wherever Courier-IMAP looks)
maildir_format
check_string =
message_prefix =
message_suffix =

Additional options can of course be used and are optional.
