Thank you Timo, I have just tried. But I found that I must add the mail=mbox:/var/spool/virtual/%d/%n part. Without this part, the dovecot seems not checking the right location of mail spool and simply say that "no new email". Now I added this part together with  "home=/tmp" part into userdb config and It works now with IMAP folder in /tmp directory.
But I want to ask if there is any file locking problem as I am running virtual email with vmail as owner for all mbox accounts.
And it seems that they are all share the same IMAP folder located in /tmp directory.
