So how exactly do I have to alter the configuration to implement your suggestion, i.e. to make dovecot look only at the mbox file and to prevent the creation of unnecessary directories?

Maybe try

mail_location = mbox:/empty/dir:INBOX=~/inbox

Not sure whether owner=rootZ:root, mode=555 will work, but those permissions would be the safest.
