Thank you for your response. I've understood for the absolute limit.
But can you explain me what follows ?
virtual_mailbox_base = /mnt/vmail --> this is ok so all my mailboxes directory
will be under this directory.
But why for a user who has the following mail "firstname.n...@isc84.org" the
directory is /mnt/vmail/isc84.org/firstname.name
even if I have setted the field mailbox to "test/toto". I expected to have
/mnt/vmail/test/toto (under the absolute limit).
Regards

In ldap-accounts.cf :
query_filter =

So the drop directory for a user is the attribute mailbox prepended
with "/mnt/vmail". I have putted for a user :
mailbox = /opt/test
But the mails always drop in /mnt/vmail/<domain>/<user without
domain> and not in /opt/test.
You need to read and understand what virtual_mailbox_base is. It is
an absolute limit for where virtual(8) can deliver mail. You can
break that limit only if you hand off delivery to another delivery
agent without the limit.
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_mailbox_base
http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html
A simple workaround is to create a virtual alias pointing that
address to a local(8) account or alias. So mydestination includes
"localhost, localhost.$mydomain", and virtual_alias_maps has:
addr...@example.com test@localhost
"test" can either be a system account or listed in alias_maps to
deliver to the place you want.
The same idea can be done with other delivery agents you might
choose.
The task of translation into LDAP is left to you.
