Switching to SQL for user preferences: will I need to transfer the bayes DB?
My setup is that of only virtual e-mail users. The 'vmail' user handles
all internal stuff. Right now, I have a cronjob on the vmail user that
scans 'learn spam' folders on a couple of mailboxes so that the bayes DB
is built up on the vmail user and the learnt false negatives are
actually used site-wide.

I want to move setting user preferences to an SQL db to be able to tweak
preferences at all on a user-base, since the users are stored in the SQL
DB as well and have no entry in /etc/passwd or a home directory. Will I
need to move the Bayes DB to an 'SQL form' when I switch to SQL-style
user preferences? Or can the two (vmail building a bayes DB in its
folder and user preferences managed in an SQL DB) exist side by side
without harming each other?

No. The Bayes, user prefs, and TxRep (or AWL) databases each have their
own independent configurations
