I'm using 1.0.5 and don't want to upgrade to 1.1 until it is released as 
stable. I've tried your suggestion, but it is not working even for a 
plain imap login. My configuration:


  userdb ldap {
    args =  /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }

  passdb ldap {
    args =  /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }

plugin {
  home = /var/mail/buzones/%n
  ...
}

In dovecot-ldap.conf I have:

user_attrs = gidNumber=gid
pass_attrs = uid=user

and the neccessary user and pass filters.

However, when I try to read my mail, I get this:

dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): ldap(dbosque,X.X.X.X): 
bind: dn=uid=dbosque,dc=cica,dc=cuentas,dc=cica,dc=es
dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): client out: OK    1       
user=dbosque
dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST

dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): master out: USER  7

dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<dbosque>,

dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Error: IMAP(dbosque): 
mkdir(/HOME_DIRECTORY_USED_BUT_NOT_GIVEN_BY_USERDB/mail/cur) failed: 
Permission denied
dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Error: IMAP(dbosque): 
mkdir(/HOME_DIRECTORY_USED_BUT_NOT_GIVEN_BY_USERDB/mail/cur) failed: 
Permission denied

So, it's not picking up the home directory supposedly set in the plugin 
section. Is there any plugin to enable somewhere? I tried setting 
mail_plugins = home and it gave me an error ;-). Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help.
