[Dovecot] mbox somewhere else?

Hi,

I want to store my folders somewhere else, it used be in ~/mail. Is this as easy as moving everything in ~/mail to /var/mail/ and editing /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to read mail_location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u ? Also, is the syntax mail_location=mbox:/var/mail/%u-folders:INBOX=/var/mail/%u correct?

Regards,
