I would like to change that to Postgres.

Simply selecting the Postgres option didn't work:

The snappymail db only contains very basic stuff. Sqlite will work just fine.

Generally sqlite is quite efficient these days, so unless there is a strong reason to switch database, its probably better to stick with sqlite.
