Probably, you need to add the location and rewrite URI to match root:

          location ~ ^/mail/.*\.php?$ {

              rewrite  ^/mail(.+)$   $1   break;

              root        /home/poczta/atmailopen/;
              include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
              fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/fcgi.socket;
              fastcgi_index index.php;
          }
