Well

I solved it. Altough "mail_uid = mailuser" is defined in dovecot.conf, i must also return an "uid" from the ldap query. Changing:

user_attrs = =home=/var/vmail/%d/%n,mailuserquota=quota=maildir:storage,=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir

To:

user_attrs = =home=/var/vmail/%d/%n,=uid=mailuser,mailuserquota=quota=maildir:storage,=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir u

solved the problem. Hope this could be helpful for someone.

It was a bug, fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/1b15881ed93b
