I would recommend using Maildir format instead of mbox format. Maildir
seems to be the default for most IMAP servers these days.

At least for me Horde + Dovecot (using Maildirs) works nicely.

If you cannot get your setup working I would also recommend posting
your problem in the Dovecot emailing list, which I've heard being
active and helpful.

Best,
