Yes basically. Export you current emails to any folder under / and then
logout and logon as root which isn't mount under /home. Rename /home to
/home_old.
I'd like to point out that at this point, it's entirely possible to
use a LiveCD to handle the entire process - as you're not running the
system your modifying, so moving /home to /home_old and creating the
new /home with it's fstab entry is fairly easy.
And though it may just be me, it strikes me as a somewhat safer way to do it.

The reason you edit fstab and use mount -a is to ensure the actual
system will mount it properly on the next reboot. Using a livecd doesn't
prove this and could cause a failure to boot the harddrive.
Either way can work.
