This isn't correct. Unfortunately because of some optimizations the
error message isn't better for LSUB .. Selecting the INBOX would have
failed with:

Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/tss/
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox)

What you want is:

location = mbox:<root directory>:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

The <root directory> being something where either user can create
mboxes, such as ~/Maildir/mboxes/ or alternatively some directory where
user doesn't have any write access.
