Platform? OS Version? Dovecot version? Dovecot -n output?

? You seriously don't know what version of the platform (Redhat) you are running on? What about (at least) the linux kernel?
What about dovecot version?
Is the below your *entire* output of dovecot -n?
Lastly - what is happening that makes you think that dovecot 'tries to create and use imap'?
For example: log output?
Sorry, not trying to be difficult, but you're really not providing enough information for anyone here to be able to help you...

Your Dovecot is trying to make index files. Index files are also used by pop3 for better performance.
And your mail_location configuration seems incorrect. The path after "mbox:" is where to create imap mailboxes and Dovecot's index files. Proper position for "/var/spool/mail/%u" is after "INBOX=" keyword.
