This is most likely wrong. You're telling Dovecot that the user's non-INBOX mailboxes are in /var/mail. If you have only inboxes, set rather something like mbox:/some/empty/dir:INBOX=/var/mail/% u:INDEX=MEMORY
Hmm. Since this seems to be so common problem, maybe I should make "mbox::INBOX=/var/mail/%u" work too..
Any thoughts ? Is there a particular settings to use ? Anything wrong with my setup ?
The real problem is that you didn't tell Dovecot to load the convert plugin:
mail_plugins = convert
I have a similiar problem with dovecot 1.0.rc31. Please note that /usr/dovecot is a link to /usr/local/dovecot on my system.

But this setup gives
service dovecot start Starting IMAP-Service (dovecot 1.0.rc31)Eopen(/.temp.seymour.elsner.lan.5894.59e ab08fc33e142b) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 [FAILED]
Any pointer to overcome this problem welcome.
