Then indeed you have the wrong mail_location directive in the configuration file. You should follow all of the steps listed here:

        http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation

starting with step 5. Unless someone on the list has *exactly* the same setup as you do, I would perform those tests yourself, since anyone random user's suggestion for mail_location should be considered a WAG (wild a$$ed guess).

However, new folders can be created. Looks like dovecot created a folder in /home/user named mail, and Maildir. mail has userfolders in it and Maildir has their inbox. Does this sound right? Currently my users inbox is /var/mail/spool/mail.

For one thing, if your existing "user created folders" exist in the top level /home/username folder, then this is certainly wrong:

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

since that would store the user folders inside a directory called "mail" in their home directory (which is what you found, right?).

One last suggestion, make sure that you restart dovecot completely after making changes to the config file; it sounds like at somepoint you had something else in mail_location, which is why you have a Maildir.
