Looking at dovecot's logs 'passwd-file' was read

# dovecot: auth-worker(14095): Debug: passwd-file 
/etc/dovecot/override.passwd: Read 3 users in 0 secs
# dovecot: auth-worker(14095): Debug: passwd(yamn): lookup

And userdb says:

# userdb out: 
USER#0111#011user1#011system_groups_user=user1#011uid=1001#011gid=1001#011home=/home/user1

That's where dovecot looks for user1 maildir:

# maildir++: root=/home/user1/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, 
inbox=/home/user1/Maildir

And inbox should be

# maildir++: root=/home/user1/user1/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, 
control=, inbox=/home/user1/user1/Maildir

Same for user2
My dovecot still can't find user1 and user2 maildir.
Instead gabriel1 is found because is where i said it is in mail_location 
directive for namespace inbox, the default.
Some sort of per user root= inbox=

I come from procmail experience as lda but i'd like to do without it.
