Dovecot by default doesn't use one, but it has a configuration  
parameter to set it.
I have in my /etc/dovecot.conf file :

mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

I have it set this way so when a user shells into our mail server and  
uses pine / alpine, the mailboxes are in the place that text-based  
MUA expects. Configured this way, RoundCube can use its default :

> $rcmail_config['imap_root'] = '';


Another advantage to configuring Dovecot this way makes it miss all  
the normal garbage in a user's home directory  
( .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. ), since all e-mail is in its own tidy  
directory.
