Use a better (than "virtual") delivery agent which comes with your virtual
user POP/IMAP server.

The simplest configuration with the bundled VDA is to use the "static" map
for virtual_uid_maps and virtual_gid_maps. Then use a suitable map type
(perhaps MySQL or "userdb" to share data with the POP/IMAP server) to
manage just virtual_mailbox_maps.

There is no support for a "/some/path/%d/%u" format template in the
virtual delivery agent which ships with Postfix.
