Dovecot already has a base_dir setting, typically /var/run/dovecot

"Mail root dir" is the ~/Maildir/ or ~/mail/ or ~/dbox/ directory.

Well, "virtual" alone is used for tons of stuff :) "Virtual home" is what I'm thinking now..
In the end it is probably better to improve the documentation than introducing self-explantory aliases. In the end both will only target a limited number of people/cases, still leaving room for interpretation.
Even if only documentation is changed, it still needs a name. I can't talk about "home directories", because people see only "home" and immediately decide "this doesn't concern me, I don't have home directories" and ignore whatever else comes after it. But if the documentation talked about "virtual home directories", maybe they wouldn't ignore it so easily.
