Elves went to Mandos until they were ready to reincarnate, which can be a long time or a short time, depending on how tainted the soul of the elf in question is. Men went to Mandos on their way out of Arda, they generally didn't stay there long at all, just long enough to walk through, I would imagine. Boromir was certainly gone before any of the others died. Dwarves think that they go to a part of Mandos set aside for them until the world is destroyed in the final battle, when they will aid Aule to remake the world.
