As usual, it was me trying to be a lot more complicated than needed :)

I was thinking about storing the mail_location in an standard way in ldap, so 
that everybody in LDAP has something like

irisMailbox= mdbox:/buzones/%256Hn/%n/mdbox

This doesn't work, but doesn't make much sense either. (It does if used in the 
generic mail_location, but not in a per user value)

Now when I create a new account I calculate the mail_location and store that 
value in LDAP. So far so good.
