what happens when you set: mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/Mailbox:INBOX=/home/%u/Mailbox or: mail_location = mbox:~/Mailbox:INBOX=~/Mailbox
If I set the mailbox location to point to the file, I get another error about how the root directory can't be a file. The exact error is: Jun 16 08:21:57 eeebox dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.0.beta6 starting up Jun 16 08:22:07 eeebox dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<cmcmanis>, method=PLAIN, rip=66.125.189.27, lip=66.125.189.30, mpid=80225, TLS Jun 16 08:22:07 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: user cmcmanis: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: mbox: mbox root directory can't be a file: /home/cmcmanis/Mailbox ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) Jun 16 08:22:07 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: Invalid user settings.

Oops, sorry, my bad. I'm sure I meant: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/Mailbox
But the configuration suggested by William Blunn look OK.
And the .imap folder is only created when you are using the (obsolete) mdbox mailbox format. It has nothing to with the used protocols.
