Where is that user's home directory, then? (Where is its .dovecot.sieve?) That is the path that mail_home should be set to.
It's /var/spool/vhosts/xyz.de/archiv . It's one file, a mbox. There is no .dovecot.sieve. This mbox is flushed various times a day by a MUA. This user archiv is a virtual user and has no home directory, just a mbox.
All Dovecot users should have a unique home directory (which needs to be *a directory*, obviously, and shouldn't be the same as any of the mailbox locations). See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home .
ok, thank you, that was an important step for the mboxes we drive!
