Specifies the location of volatile files. This includes lock files and
potentially other files that don't need to exist permanently, so it can point
to an in-memory filesystem (\`tmpfs\`). This is especially useful to avoid
creating lock files to NFS or other remote filesystems.

This setting can be shared between multiple namespaces. Dovecot makes the
filenames unique for each namespace to avoid collisions.

[[variable,mail-user]] and \`~/\` can be used.`
