Yes, that is what I thought; when I use that setting, I get this error:

Feb 14 14:32:15 xxxx dovecot[8549]: imap(jos)<8739><5ErUO4meZthSsH9H>: 
Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Unknown 
mail storage driver driver in=0 out=375 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0

Currently this is (part of) my dovecot.conf

--- cut ---

auth_mechanisms = plain login
disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mail_privileged_group = mail

# mail_debug=yes
# auth_debug=yes

passdb {
    driver = pam
}

--- cut ---

When I change

mail_location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

into

mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

I only get inbox (the /var/mail/%u content) and the Deleted mailbox.
