iRedMail ships the shell script tools/create_mail_user_SQL.sh

It will generate the plain SQL file output.sql

login to SQL server as root user, then import it. for example:
- MySQL or MariaDB:
# mysql -uroot -p
sql> USE vmail;
sql> SOURCE output.sql;

# cp output.sql /tmp
# chmod +r /tmp/output.sql
# su - postgres
$ psql -d vmail
sql> \i output.sql;
