This can be alternatively done by putting to dovecot.conf: mail_home = /home/vmail/%d/%n > =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n, Don't put this here, rather just do it like everyone else: mail_location = maildir:~/ But then again, you should also read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home > uid=vmail, gid=vmail This isn't right. You probably wanted =uid=vmail, =gid=vmail. But this is again done easier by setting: mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail So all in all, your user_attrs could probably just be empty and you should probably remove userdb ldap completely from your config to avoid unnecessary userdb lookups.
