Just a guess:
Maybe you need a "~/Maildir"?

Another possibility is to install "courier-ldap" and skip pam.
You can then set the attribute names in authldaprc. Example:
....
LDAP_MAIL               mail
LDAP_HOMEDIR            homeDirectory
LDAP_MAILDIR            mailMessageStore
LDAP_CLEARPW            userPassword
LDAP_UID                uidNumber
LDAP_GID                gidNumber

HTH, Ramin
