Hello.

Thanks! This variant working:
```
  userdb__mail_index_path = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user | username}
```

For other parameters, do I also need to add `userdb_`? Example:
```
userdb declarative {
  userdb_driver = passwd-file
  userdb_passwd_file_path = /var/data/mail/dovecot/passdb
  userdb_fields {
    userdb_gid = 5000
    userdb_home = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain}/%{user | username}
    userdb_uid = 5000
    userdb_mail_index_path = /var/data/mail/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user | username}
  }
}
```

How to move location of the `.dovecot.lda-dupes` files to the `mail`
subdirectory?
