The ~/mail/.imap/ directory is for Dovecot's indexes. If you want to
place them in different directory, you can do it with eg.:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INDEX=%h/mail-indexes
Or you can just forget that they're there. Dovecot doesn't show them to
clients.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. ~/mail typically contains only
mboxes, so are you talking about something else? If not, why do you have
both mboxes and maildirs?
In ~/mail there are files that are actually mail directories. I don't know what they are called but that is the way it has been since RH5.3 until FC1. This problem has only been since FC1.
