Rename email account

Is it possible to rename an email account and save all of the IMAP data?

No, it's not. I've moved the post to Feedback & Feature Requests.

Hello,

It's probably too minor to add as a new feature, but yes you can do it.

Create a new account with the name you want.
Then just rename the /home/user/imap/domain.com/user folder to the new username (delete the empty new one first). Make sure the permissions are the same/correct...test it out. Once you're satisfied it's working, delete the old account.

Thanks for the reply John. It worked like a charm.

FYI, we've received a few more email requests to add this, so I've added it
