I have a virtual user test1.
cat /etc/dovecot/users
test1@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n
catchall@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n
@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/<mydomain>/catchall
te...@example.com:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n
ls /home/vmail/%d/%n/mail
cur dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist
dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.4eab20a7 new tmp
and mail to test1@<mydomain> goes into this %d/%n folder. In fact
dovecot created the folder - at least I didn't.
from dovecot-info.log

I would have expected dovecot to expand this to
/home/vmail/<mydomain>/test1.
Or are the %u %d variables only expanded in certain files?
