changed user's name, IMAP folders/mail disappeared




I recently changed a user's name, primary short name and home dir in workgroup mgr via the inspector. I added her old shortname to the list of shortnames as well..


I chowned her home directory to her new short name and she is able to log in and see her desktop/files without incident...

We she logs-in via mail.app or webmail, all of her messages and IMAP folders are gone. Mail to either of the shortnames is appearing in her (new) mailbox, and when I look at the mailstore all of the new mail is contained within the directory named the same as her new shortname. Of course a folder by the name of her old shortname is still there - with all of her messages from the prior to the rename...

A quick read of the cyrus wiki yielded the RENAME command - which looks like it may be the answer...

Has anyone done this before?  Is this the answer?

Thanx in advance!
