There's no "mbox:" after INBOX=. I wonder how it works at all if you've
it like that.

You need to configure system users in dovecot.conf and for virtual users
override the namespace location. I think something like this works:
userdb static {
args = .. namespace_2_location=maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n
The "2" there means the second listed namespace.
