I wonder if it would be possible to have the way to rename mailboxes and/or user without directly modifying the database. currently I modify the username/localpart in database and leave the maildir intact. but Ideally I'd be allowed "dangerous" changes to the mailbox, which (ideally) would rename the mailbox file/dir accordingly as well, and allow me to choose to leave a redirect/alias behind for example, the move of the maildir will need then separate intervention on the directory hierarchy.

This would require the retention of state (old and new) in the database so it could be executed later in scripts. This is quite a bit FR and not within our current plans or time. Contact me if this is something you want to fund commercially.
