Actually no, I just want dovecot to be able to access both maildirs of a
user, at the same time. So, in my MUA, I'd be able to see 2 locations
(folders), 1 at my home directory and 1 under /var/spool.

The reason I need to use /var/spool is that this folder is monitored
very closely so it make sense to have postfix storing incoming messages
there. End users can move msgs, from the spool locatioon, to their
personal maildirs as they see fit.
