If I understand correctly I can repeat the userdb section:


userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=~/Maildir
}

userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=/home/user1/user1/Maildir
}


userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=/home/user2/user2/mail
}

What do you think of this setup ?

That you totally misunderstood my point. 

userdb {
     driver = passwd-file
     args = /etc/dovecot/override.passwd
}

/etc/dovecot/override.passwd

user1:*:::::::mail=~/user1/mail
user2:*:::::::mail=~/user2/mail
