Dovecot already has a base_dir setting, typically /var/run/dovecot

"Mail root dir" is the ~/Maildir/ or ~/mail/ or ~/dbox/ directory.

Well, "virtual" alone is used for tons of stuff :) "Virtual home" is
what I'm thinking now..

Even if only documentation is changed, it still needs a name. I can't
talk about "home directories", because people see only "home" and
immediately decide "this doesn't concern me, I don't have home
directories" and ignore whatever else comes after it. But if the
documentation talked about "virtual home directories", maybe they
wouldn't ignore it so easily.
