Please read the DBMail config file's [LDAP] section. It is designed to interact with essentially arbitrary schemas, you simply tell it what the field names are it'll use them. You are encouraged to use your existing schema as much as possible.
There's no need to convert your users over to dbmailUsers. You can add the dbmailUsers schema in addition to your existing user schemas in order to get the additional dbmail fields, but you can just as well re-use other fields available in your schema. Since you mention Windows users authenticating, are you working with an Active Directory server?
