postfix+dovecot and usernames different to e-mail addresses

[Benjamin]

To me it seems that dovecot-lda is just ignoring all my LDAP 
configuration. I now added

   =mail=maildir:%{ldap:mailMessageStore}/Maildir

to user_attrs, but dovecot still logs

   Home directory not set for user. Can't expand ~/ for mail root
   dir in: ~/Maildir

Do I have to include the configuration somewhere else? It's only 
referenced in auth-ldap.conf.ext twice (passdb, userdb):

   root at mailtest:/etc/dovecot# grep ldap /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*
   conf.d/10-auth.conf:!include auth-ldap.conf.ext
   conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext:  driver = ldap
   conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext:  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
   conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext:  driver = ldap
   conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext:  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
