yes, that's possible.
BTW and according to your former question regarding the authentication issue and your 'doveconf -n' output: I would suggest to not use 'driver = passwd' for virtual users but instead use 'driver = passwd-file' or an SQL database for the virtual accounts. IMHO it's easier and more flexible to handle within Dovecot and Postfix as well.

Dropping the name change as now irrelevant (resolved by delete/recreate/remigrate), I'd like to keep things simple as possible.
Being unaware of a pressing need to change, for the moment, I'll leave changing "driver" on my "to investigate" plate.

In most cases, the whole point of setting up the virtual users feature is to have the mail user accounts (and the respective database) independent of the "real" system users. This provides significant flexibility, convenience, and security benefits.
