  By default the mail_location setting is empty, which means that
  Dovecot attempts to locate automatically where your mails are. This is
  done by looking at ~/Maildir, /var/mail/username, ~/mail and ~/Mail in
  that order. It's usually a good idea to explicitly specify where the
  mails are, even if the autodetection happens to work. Autodetection
  commonly fails for new users who don't have the mail directory created
  yet.
