I have not attempted user renames myself (we have a script to copy a mailbox over IMAP, then delete the old mailbox). However, if you are seeing the new mailbox under Other Users, then it sounds like the ACLs were not updated during the move. I don't know if they are supposed to be automatically updated or not, since this could cause unexpected access changes.

A FAQ covering these issues would probably be helpful to a lot of people, however, a cyradm script should be extraordinarily easy to create, (if you know the perl to do it, which I currently don't.) Andy, you mention a script and it seems like the script does exactly what I have done the long hard way. Is there a link to this script? Is it something that is easily run? Slightly off list, but is this a script that could be easily added to web-cyradm? (This would be the most preferred way, so that we can have admins unfamiliar with CLI quickly do this stuff).
I use several different perl scripts to manage mailboxes on Cyrus. You can find all of these at:
http://oregonstate.edu/~morgan/cyrus/public/
The steps would be:
1. Create new user in your auth backend. 2. Use create_user_inbox.pl to create the new mailbox for the user. 3. Use copy_user_mailbox.pl to copy the old mailbox to the new mailbox. 4. Use delete_user_mail.pl to delete the old mailbox. 5. Remove the old user from your auth backend.
I have never used web-cyradm, so I have no idea if these could be integrated into that software...
