It is a bit complicated due to the fact that renameing a mailbox
requires changes in other parts of the system. That is, renamemailbox
user.blahbla user.blahbla at domain would not doe the trick.
But you could try to create users in Kolab and than copy their old
mails into the new mailspool. In the book "Managing IMAP"is a tcl
script, that would solve your problem.
