This would make your old mail readable, yes, but would postfix put new
mail into the appropriate directory or would it put it into the default?

Hmm, if it puts it into its default directory but reads from the
symlinked directory would you seemingly lose your newer mail?

Can you tell that I'm new to linking directories?

If it /does/ put mail into its own default directory but you link to
another one, would a reciprocal link /back/ to the desired directory
result in a loop situation?

Man, I wish I had a spare machine and a throwaway Eccount to experiment
with...
