My idea was more like:

mail_home = /usr/local/virtual/%d/%n
mail_location = maildir:~/

Even better would be:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

but you'd have to move existing maildirs below the Maildir/ then.

Above it's trying to create a directory called
"/var/run/dovecot/home=/usr/home/virtual/domain.com/hans/
mail=/usr/local/virtual/domain.com/hans", which is of course completely
wrong.
