Thanks for the answer. Your solution works almost great. Addind two 
followed locations seems to solve the problem, when URI hasn't folders 
inside mail directory (f.e: mydomain.com/mail/index.php), but scripts in 
subdirectories in /home/mail/atmailopen/*/ tree redirect to 
mydomain.com/ link, instead of mydomain.com/mail/.

For example, link in mydomain.com/mail/install/index.php?step=3 directs 
to mydomain.com/install/index.php?step=4. mail/ is lost.


My locations are as follow:

         location /mail {
             alias       /home/mail/atmailopen/;
         }
         location ~ ^/mail/.*\.php?$ {
             rewrite     ^/mail(.+)$   $1   break;
             root        /home/mail/atmailopen/;
             include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
             fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/fcgi.socket;
             fastcgi_index index.php;
         }
