Or skills... ;) but it only took a few minutes and its already done... 
thanks very much Christian for confirming this is all I need to change.

Yeah, but I'm a bit anal and like consistency... ;)

I don't have to change the query, no, but I neglected to mention, the 
previous guy had also set the maildir path to:

/var/virtual

and I prefer

/var/vmail

So I'll need to also change virtual_mailbox_base in postfix, and the 
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD in courier-imap after mv'ing the maildirs...

Anyway, many thanks, I should be able to pull the trigger on this tonight...
