My question is about mail server configuration with postfix (smtp) and dovecot (imap,pop3), both of these application have to see the same path to the maildir, for example /var/vmail/my_domain/user/Maildir. So, which application determine or set the maildir or the path to it?
Which application determine or set the maildir in a mail server?

In your case BOTH of applications sets the maildir path, but
postfixdefine it for writing during local delivery, whiledovecotdefine it for reading during POP/IMAP interactions.This is an example of the bad configuration, widely spreaded over the numbers of howtos and manuals. You should never perform local delivery from the MTA like
postfixorexim. You have to use LDA functionality from your POP/IMAP server likedovecotinstead.When you invoke dovecot's
dovecot-ldafor LDA then the single dovecot.conf is used to define storage path and the single service have r/w access to the sorage so you can secure storage by600permissions.You can refer to the
dovecot's wiki to know how to move LDA functionality from thepostfixto thedovecothttps://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
