[Dovecot] Alternate mail_location prefix for homedir

I understand and agree with your second sentence.

The issue though is that if I use '~' or '~/' without the '.' suffix I get
the following error:

Error: user henry: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from
mail_location setting failed: No home directory for system user. Can't
expand ~ for mail root dir in: ~:INBOX=/var/mail/henry

It seems to have a problem expanding '~' or '~/', but not '~/.'
