One can cause them to utilize the UID:GID of the end-user for delivery/retrieval (common). We prefer running each under its own UID, and as members of a common group. Virtual users thereby need no system accounts at all, have no rights to mail storage except as authenticated clients of Dovecot or Exim, and knowledge of a user's UID cannot be escalated to non-mail or other-folks-mail on-box access. Less common, AFAIK.
