You can have only one lock_method, and since you place indexes in /tmp just keep it fcntl.

mbox_read_locks = dotlock fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl

The home of users is /home/usuaris/user

Where place dovecot the lock file?

For mboxes it's always created wherever the mboxes are, for example for your INBOX it uses ~/mbox.lock.
