I wonder: why rename at all? Wouldn't be easier to store mail box unique id, and then just LDAP to mail usernames to ids. I always thought that Cyrus should have this feature. But this doesn't really help with sub-folders, and I guess you are talking about rotation of sent-mail folder on the first of the month? Or batch suspension of accounts? But sub-folders could be handled the same way. The mailbox db could link a mailbox name to an id, so nothing has to be changed in the filesystem when a rename is performed. Tom
