Did you create a Maildir in the users' home directories? You can create one in
/usr/share/skel so that new users automatically get a Maildir, but for existing
users you'll have to create one with /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake (and make sure
you chown -R it to the user).

You can ignore it. Make sure you have sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf to
keep it from starting up. In /etc/mail/mailer.conf you'll want to change the
location of sendmail and send-mail to "/var/qmail/bin/sendmail" and the locate
of mailq to "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread." You can also change newaliases to
"/var/qmail/bin/newaliases."
