Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this actually is your problem. 
What's the value of $DEFAULT in your per-user procmail scripts?  How 
about the system-wide default in /etc/procmailrc?  Is the 'mike' account 
going through procmail at all?

It's possible that the postfix default is maildir (see the 
'home_mailbox' parm in /etc/postfix/main.cf), but in the case of your 
account, postfix is handing the mail off to procmail, which is set up to 
deliver to /var/spool/mail in mbox format.  Or maybe the procmail 
default is maildir, both of the accounts are going through procmail, and 
your per-user procmail scripts are indeed setting $DEFAULT so it goes to 
  /var/spool/mail/.
