If you have something like mailAddress=user in your pass_attrs and user_attrs, so that the username gets translated to the mailaddress then you can use %n/%d in dovecot.conf. > Can I get the mail address as part of fetching user_attrs and modify it on the > fly? Something along the lines of this: > > user_attrs = mail:/srv/mail/%d/%n=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid > > Or would I be able to modify this with a post-login script? The correct syntax is: user_attrs = =home=mail:/srv/mail/%d/%n, .. but this assumes that the login is user@domain. Without changing the username to mail address you can't use %d/%n directly, and post-login script would be the only way to go.
