I don't understand. Do you mean that if a local user sends mail to
"Axxx" it should end up in the *sender's* home directory? Why would a
user want to do that? Why not just copy the file? Email is all about
sending data from one user to *another* user.

What do you expect to happen if a user on some foreign host sends mail
to Axxx? You haven't checked that the sender is local.

If you are using a traditional /etc/passwd you could look it up using
${lookup.

Caseful email causes lots of problems. See a number of items in the FAQ.

You need to put
debug_print = ?how-to-get-the-home-Dir-here?? /mymail/${local_part}
