[Dovecot] IMAP clients generate user home folders one level higher than needed

Hi
(Of course not the clinets generate the folders, dovecot does, but I wanted
to have the title not be too long.)
I am using static userdb:
userdb static {
args = uid=vmail gid=mail home=/srv/vmail/%d/%n
}
and I have configured the hostname in protocol lda.
Now when mail arrives for a known virtual user, the home directory with all
subdirectories is being created correctly unter /srv/vmail/$domain/$vuser.
But when connecting from an IMAP client (I have tested Thunderbird and
Outlook) a new home directory with apparently correct subfolders is bring
created unter /srv/vmail/$vuser ! The connection works, I just don't see
the mails which arrived since the client is mapping a directory one level
higher than needed.
Where do I have to look for the cause? I did not find anything reasonable
yet.
Thank you in advance,
David
