Require different setting for mail_location for each of POP3S and IMAPS protocols

Okay,

Let's try this a different way.

I've been able to configure past dovecot to have a different
mail_location setting for the same user, but with different protocols.

When the user requests POP3S, I adjusted the mail_location to
/var/mail/$USER (with mbox in use).


When that *same* user requested IMAPS protocol, the required
mail_location is the Maildir folder.


This allows for independent two mail storage locations, one for the use
of mbox and the other for the use of Maildir *and* for the same user.


Some users only require mbox with others only requiring Maildir.


So, I need to cater for each of these situations.

How might I adjust current dovecot configuration to provide different
mail_location settings for different protocols?

Old dovecot allowed me to run a script before POP3S processing that gave
me the chance to adjust the mail_location variable.  That is what I need
now, just for POP3S.

Thanks
