BTW: What home directory are you using? It is not recommended to run with mail (dir) == home (dir). Insofar, it might be better to add the pseudo standard Maildir to mail_location.
I don't know if I fully understand your question. I am trying to import mail from an old system running mbox (inbox in /var/mail/username and the rest in /home/username/mail/), to a new system running Postfix/Dovecot with virtual mailboxes for separate domains.
I'd suggested to _not_ import, but migrate the messages.
However, doveadm import -u user maildir:... "" all works for me, but my target user already has ~/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}.
So the mail users on the new system do not have a linux account anymore and therefore no homedir either.
Well, maybe you could call the "homedirectory" in the sense of Dovecot as "directory where to put files relatively to by default', see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation sec. "homeless useres".
As you suggested earlier, copying to maildir converted box manually to the vmail folders and editing the subscriptions file is a way to get it to work but it is very labour intensive.
I though mb2md supports "-d destdir", and to patch subscribe :
cd <<maildir>> echo INBOX >subscribe ls -d .??* |grep '^\.' | sed -e 's/^\.//' >>subscribe
