Timo, if we use the dovecot LDA, we do need to create a user
"vmail" , with no login priveleges etc?

No.

my /home/vmail/ directories are owned by postfix. do i then need
to make vmail a member of the group?

You could just execute Dovecot LDA using postfix user.

Therefore, ( copied from dovecot wiki, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix )

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-f ${sender} -d ${recipient}

I could change the user=vmail:vmail to postfix:postfix ?

I just heard that Postfix doesn't allow you to do that (as you would
have noticed too). So just use vmail.
