We had virtual per-user home directories working practically out of the
box with:

user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,mailDirectory,mailQuota=quota,mailClass=mailclass

in dovecot-ldap.conf. ~/.dovecot.sieve is automatically honored, if it
exists, where ~ is replaced with the value of homeDirectory.

(The LDAP attributes you don't recognise are just ia5strings in
our own schema).

What's your user_attrs setting?

Joshua.
