Just change the default delivery instruction in qmail's startup rc file to
deliver to ~/Mail/inbox:
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mail/inbox/ by default.
exec env - PATH="/usr/local/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mail/inbox/ splogger qmail
