Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1504

Impacted versions

  • Modoboa: 1.8.2
  • installer used: Yes
  • Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

Change a user's name
Try to login as new user

Current behavior

User is no longer able to login with new or old username

Expected behavior

User is no longer able to login with new or old username

The cause of the issue is that when changing a username, modoboa does not also change the email field in the core_user table, nor does it change the email directory pointing to the old username. The user has the new username, but their mailbox cannot be found.
