Postfix supports qmail's maildir format as defined by D.J. Bernstein,
so it is likely that you can use the same mailstore with Postfix.
However, if your qmail or Postfix have been modified by patches
(such as quota), then the mail store formats may not be compatible.

With Postfix, information about how to turn on maildir format is in:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#home_mailbox
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mail_spool_directory
http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html

There is no Postfix MySQL schema. For how to specify the queries:
