You can try this:
*) Before installing iRedMail, open iRedMail-x.y.z/conf/global, find below lines and change it to match your need (remote MYSQL server address and port). Then iRedMail will use remote MySQL server directly.
# MySQL server
export MYSQL_SERVER="${LOCAL_ADDRESS}"
export MYSQL_SERVER_PORT='3306'*) Open iRedMail-x.y.z/conf/mysql, find below line and set correct MySQL root user name. default is 'root'. (NOTE: This parameter will be moved to file conf/global in iRedMail-0.8.4.)
export MYSQL_ROOT_USER='root'*) During iRedMail installation, it will show you dialog to input password of MySQL root user, please type the correct password for your remote MySQL server.
Others keep the same. Let me know whether it doesn't work for you, so that i can fix it.

Thanks that should make it a bit easier 
Time to go play
Don't forget to let us know if i missed some files.

It should be fine.
Cheers Zhang,
Do you happen to have a full list of files that will need updates - ie including amavis/roundcube etc.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks so much.
Is there a full list of files that would need updating?
]]>- Setup iRedMail with a fresh OS. This way, iRedMail will install and configure local MySQL server automatically.
- Export initial MySQL records, import to remote server.
- Update config files which have MySQL queries to use remote server as MySQL server. e.g. /etc/postfix/mysql/*, /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf.
my default tables:
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| amavisd |
| iredadmin |
| mysql |
| policyd |
| roundcubemail |
| test |
| vmail |
