It could be SELinux:
% matchpathcon /home/anyone/mail
/home/anyone/mail unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0
You might need to make the mail directory be named Maildir:
% matchpathcon /home/anyone/Maildir
/home/anyone/Maildir unconfined_u:object_r:mail_home_rw_t:s0
I suspect that Dovecot isn't allowed to create 'mail' but is allowed
to create Maildir by the default policy.
