No. postfix is a message transfer agent (MTA). maildrop is a local
delivery agent (LDA). postfix hands the email to maildrop so that
maildrop can deliver the email locally. maildrop is available at the
Courier web site.

I'm guessing that you are letting the postfix virtual delivery agent
deliver messages, now, to virtual mailboxes. Basically, you want to

1. Add maildrop to master.cf as a delivery agent
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
  flags=Rhu user=vmail argv=/where/ever/maildrop -d ${recipient}

2. Add a transport_maps entry for the virtual mailbox domain
   example.com maildrop:

I believe that maildrop can talk to mySQL (we use LDAP). You probably
already have a field for Courier IMAP that already contains the path to
the Maildir. Just tell maildrop to use it when delivering email. You
probably already have fields for the mail quota, as well. Tell maildrop
and Courier IMAP to use those.
