"Userdir" may still imp
Typically when using virtual users all you do is store their emails.
Why not introduce "stores"; Something like virtual_store or vstore
might work nicely.

Sounds good to me - simplest is usually best.

Well, "virtual" alone is used for tons of stuff :) "Virtual home"

This is pretty hard to eliminate IMHO also taking into account Brandon's recap.
There is pros and cons for all kinds of inflexible naming schemes like:
* basedir
* mailr
I use: mail_location: maildir:/srv/mail/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir
No problems at all. I went this way because i use templates to deploy
new VMs, once running i only have to change the network config on the
new VM and add a new virtual disk to it. The disk size depends on the
service and data ne

Clarification: "vhome" would be the short name, "virtual home" the long
name.

I've noticed that a lot of people are using e.g.:
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n
Then either they don't have home directory set, or their home directory
is the same as the maildir. http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home
