I've never used dovecot, but I know that those directories aren't what IMAP servers generally expect when looking for a rootfolderpath.
For example, courier is always 'INBOX', uw-imap is usually but not always 'mail', and sometimes it's just a blank string. My guess is that for you, it's one of those three. If your mail is in a 'mail' directory, I suggest just putting 'mail' and not '~/mail'.
I'm going to cross post this to the dovecot list in case someone there has an idea. To bring those people up to speed: I'm evaluating ISMail (www.insidesystems.net) as a replacement for IMP. I'm having problems configuring the IMAP settings to work with Dovecot.
You can configure Dovecot to put the mail anywhere you like by changing default_mail_env setting in config file. rootfolderpath should be empty always.
If I set rootmailfolder to as "rootmailfolder=" with no argument, it creates
.imap INBOX .customflags .imap.index.data .imap.index.tree .imap.index .imap.index.log then dies
Dies? See if there's error messages in log file (/var/log/mail.log maybe).
