If you set

location /mail/ {
fastcgi_pass localhost:8888;
...
}

and request "/mail" then nginx will return external redirect to "/mail/".

If you do not want the redirect, then

location = /mail {
fastcgi_pass localhost:8888;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /index.php;
root /var/www;
}

location /mail/ {
fastcgi_pass localhost:8888;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
root /var/www;
}
