Create the new user in the normal way i.e through the web interface.
Using a shell change directory to /var/spool/imap/oldusername and tar
together contents i.e "tar cvf usermail.tar *"
Move the tar file into the new users directory i.e
"mv /var/spool/imap/oldusername /var/spool/imap/newusername "
Change directory to /var/spool/imap/newusername and use tar to extract the
files i.e "tar xvf usermail.tar"
This has worked for me in the past, although I'm using Email Server II so not
sure if you have to do anything else for version III.
