If delivering via virtual(8), adjust virtual_mailbox_maps to return
the desired directory. Otherwise, and this is preferred, use a
Dovecot delivery agent that knows where to read and write mail
for each user.

Largely, this is a Dovecot configuration question, if you hand delivery
off to Dovecot (as you most probably should).

Looks like you're using virtual(8), for now adjust the result returned
by the MySQL query in mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf. Then learn how
to use Dovecot (LMTP or a pipe(8) delivery agent) as the transport for
virtual users.
