The default is mbox. :)

You mentioned having to change some postfix settings,
perhaps sharing what those were might help?

I started a Fedora Workstation 42 Live image, installed
mailx and postfix, then ran

    echo test | mailx -s test liveuser

and the message was delivered to the liveuser mailbox in
/var/spool/mail as I would expect.  It's been ages since I
setup a system from scratch, so I wanted to be sure that it
did still work as I thought.

The postconf man page provides a convenient method to show
settings that differ from built-in defaults:

    LANG=C comm -23 <(postconf -n) <(postconf -d)

It's not an empty list on an install where I didn't touch
main.cf, so don't be surprised if you see changes which
aren't ones you made.

Though, if you backed up the main.cf before making changes,
a simple diff might be better to show what you changed.  If
you saved a copy as main.cf.dist~, for example, this would
be handy to see what's changed:

    diff -u /etc/postfix/main.cf{.dist~,}
