There is a variable $home in directors (when delivering to UNIX users)
Why not:

.-------------------- >8 ====
| (in transports section)
| #
| # Maildir delivery transport
| #
| maildir_delivery:
| driver = appendfile
| directory = ${home}/.INBOX
| maildir_format = yes
| delivery_date_add
| envelope_to_add
| return_path_add
| mode = 0600
|
|
| (in directors section)
| #
| # Maildir director for users having ~/.INBOX directory
| # (this is a criterium)
| #
| maildir_users:
| driver = localuser
| transport = maildir_delivery
| require_files = ${home}/.INBOX

`==================== 8< ----

It works for me.
