I have some user rename code checked-in on a dev branch in CVS which I
trying to put the finishing touches on (primarily file locking) before I
submit it to the list as beta. If you need this immediately, I can post
the patches with the standard disclaimer.
FYI, I have tested this on my production server (~20 users) without any
problems, but I make SURE that nobody is trying to access any of the
user's mailboxes while doing the rename. You must also note that this
is a fairly expensive operation, since it requires renaming all of the
mailboxes, renaming the seen state and quota files and modifying the
ACLs and subscriptions.
