You say in this article that "Local user names are not visible in a regular postfix-style virtual domain." This is only true if every domain for which you accept mail is configured as a virtual domain. If, for example, you have a "base" domain which does not have a virtual table, then its users will be the local users. Generally speaking, most people will not configure a virtual domain for the FQDN, so if your system is foo.example.com and you have virtual domains for example.com and example.net as follows:
example.com DOMAIN
dan@example.com dan-com
example.net DOMAIN
dan@example.net dan-net
then the addresses dan-com@foo.example.com and dan-net@foo.example.com would work, delivering email to the mailboxes for dan@example.com and dan@example.net respectively.

dan@example.com mail will be delivered locally to dan-com.
dan@example.net mail will be delivered locally to dan-net.
Yes, mail for dan-com@foo.example.com will be delivered to dan-com. That has nothing to do with the virtual domains.
I don't actually know what I meant by "Local user names are not visible in a regular postfix- style virtual domain."

maybe you meant 'virtual mailbox' which is a different namespace.
i just successfully got virtual mailboxes working, which was a bit of a royal pain, but now i can't get IMAP to work. i've been using ( or trying to use ) UW-IMAP, but apparently from reading the docs it only supports local users, and i would like to just deal with 'virtual' users -- just mailbox logins, basically.
any suggestions?

I just realized what you meant. You meant exactly what you said -- local user names (such as dan-com and dan-net) will not be visible as email addresses in domains that are configured as postfix-style virtual domains (such as example.com and example.net). So the only working address @example.com is dan@example.com (delivering to dan-com) and the only working address @example.net is dan@example.net (delivering to dan-net). The information I provided is accurate, but so is the information you provided.

Thanks. Your explanation of what I said sounds familiar.

Hello,
Yes, I suggest you to forget about imap-uw and recognize courier-imap. Or (i've heard) the best is cyrus-imap :-))).
OK, so these imap server are what are you looking for.
