Ok, so it appears you're having Postfix deliver to UNIX style mbox mailboxes via local(8). How are your users reading their mail? A popper? Or something like pine or mutt? The point I'm getting at is reconfiguring users individually in Postfix only covers half the problem--mail delivery. You'll also have to tell the programs reading the mail of each user's new mailbox location. To address the Postfix delivery aspect, you'll need use virtual_mailbox_maps as it facilitates specifying mail_location on a per recipient bases.
