Thank you!

 

So, which directories do I need to copy into the new user (just to make sure I 
copy everything I need)

 

:)

Additionally you could remove joe (After copying joe email to joseph) and make 
joe an alias for joseph.

I don’t know if this is a silly question or not, but I have never done it.

 

Is it possible to rename an email account and still retain all the messages in 
it?

 

For example, you have [email protected] and you want to rename it to 
[email protected] but retain all the messages associated with the joe email 
address. I know I can rename a user via command line, but I’m guessing it won’t 
update everything for qmail/dovecot etc.

 

Thanks!
