Are home dirs and mail dirs related in any way? The only way you can get it working is by using home dirs, e.g.: user_attrs = mailbox=home=/var/maildir/%$ Then in dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/ > namespace { > type = shared > separator = / > prefix = shared/%%u/ > subscriptions = no > list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u Of course, if you're already now using separate home dirs for some stuff, this won't really work.
