I assume you meant to have me change it to:
password_query = .., '/mail/' || home as userdb_home, ..
since there is no "mail" field in my DB table.

This does not appear to work in Dovecot 1.1.19.

Sadly, if I can't make a change that works for 1.1.19 as well as 1.2.x,
I will be unable to update at this time.

Please let me know if my assumptions about 1.1.19 vs 1.2.x are true.
Thank you.
