That means, if there is a mailbox with the same name as the used detail
extension, it will move that email there.

In your example:
Set "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes".
Create a mailbox with name "test" in user's postbox.
Then send an email to <user+test at example.com> and it will end up in
mailbox "test" instead of INBOX.
