there is no right or wrong, there are different types of

as stated here
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces

try using or simular

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = "/"
  location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
  inbox = yes
  hidden = yes
  }

you might play around with prefix

first try comment out mail_location for 1.x
or use
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

cant remember all i am on 2.0x now
