Sorry, this might be off-topic, but while reading up on the link you sent,
I've noticed the following sentence:

Use only absolute paths. Even if relative paths would appear to work, they
might just as well break some day.

Yet, all examples in the documentation use ~ which is a relative path.

Also, using an absolute path is impossible, if your users are located in
different parent home directories. e.g.:
/home2/<uname> /home3/<uname> /home4/<uname> /var/users/<uname>

So how am I supposed to use an absolue path in such a case?
(If I wanted to have the maildir in their home directories and not in a
central location?)

Cheers,
  K. C.
