With the current implementation, renaming a mailbox on the file system does not work for several reasons:

There is a race condition when modoboa asks dovecot to retrieve the mail_home of the mailbox being renamed. Due to transactions, dovecot doesn't see the new value.
A single 'mv' command is issued to rename the mailbox but it won't work all cases.
