Thank you Timo,

I changed default_mail_env = maildir:/home/exim/%n/.maildir

I may not have to support local users

But I'm still running into the problem that the user authenticates as Firstname Lastname which is the cn in LDAP but the uid in LDAP, which would be something like flastname needs to be used for mail location.

Is there a way to use the uid in LDAP to specify the mail location, without modifying the current LDAP database to include the full path?

It would have been easier to answer if you had given your dovecot-ldap.conf settings. But if "uid" in LDAP contains the short form, then giving pass_attrs = uid=user,.. should help. Although that was also there by default..
