Hmm. It shouldn't do this, as long as ~/mail exists. Try running this:

MAIL=mbox:$HOME/mail/:INBOX=$HOME/mail/Inbox:INDEX=$HOME/mail/.indexes strace /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap 2>log

and send the log file, if it doesn't work.

Dovecot should create all of these automatically. And it does with me.

This is because your IMAP client tries to move it to trash mailbox which
doesn't exist. Either configure your client not to use
move-to-trash-when-deleting, or create the trash mailbox.
