The directory is created by dovecot if mailbox isn'n present:
root at dns:~# creautente.php test testtt
Inserito utente test
(a small script to create user)
root at dns:~# v -d /var/spool/mail/test
/usr/bin/ls: /var/spool/mail/test: No such file or directory

root at dns:~# telnet localhost pop3
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user test
+OK
pass testtt
+OK Logged in.
quit
+OK Logging out.
Connection closed by foreign host.
root at dns:~# v -d /var/spool/mail/test
drwx------    3 test     users        4096 Sep 18 11:30 
/var/spool/mail/test/
