"postconf -d" will print out your Postfix default settings, not the
actual. Better issue "postconf | grep "home_mailbox".

Right.

Right. This should override the previous default empty setting. Remember
to reload (or restart) Postfix for the change to be applied (/etc/init.d/
postfix reload)

"home_mailbox" has preference over "mail_spool_directory" but is has to
be defined. Try by reloading postfix.
