This is most likely wrong. You're telling Dovecot that the user's
non-INBOX mailboxes are in /var/mail. If you have only inboxes, set
rather something like mbox:/some/empty/dir:INBOX=/var/mail/%
u:INDEX=MEMORY

Hmm. Since this seems to be so common problem, maybe I should make
"mbox::INBOX=/var/mail/%u" work too..

The real problem is that you didn't tell Dovecot to load the convert
plugin:

mail_plugins = convert
