and how to I might configure dovecot to use the mail directory as a subdirectory of the home directory?

this way all lookups for home (with %%h fetched from ldap) will return the correct locationand mail will be in (i.e.) ~/mailSubDir

is this configuration possible?

In the main dovecot.conf:

    mail_location = maildir:~/mailSubDir

In the ldap-config:

    user_attrs = homeFilter=home

and which is the value for the location directive in namespace declaration ??

namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/mailSubDir:INDEX=~/mailSubDIr/shared/%%u prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . subscriptions = no type = shared }

with the above conf. no shared folders are seen by tests users and afaik %%h is retrieved from ldap.

this is that I had done until now:
