I should have described it earlier. My mailboxes are named after the usernames and I want to rename the mailbox whenever the username changes. Found this thread about the same topic. http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-February/133339.html Also the doveadm-mailbox(1) has a rename argument. I will check out what it does. Thanks, Avinash.
